Chapter 161: Refund? No
"Tell me quickly, I really want to hear what the big news is." Fia was immediately full of energy.
She was actually a little depressed during this period.
After all, she still suffered a lot of setbacks. She was forced to resign. When she started her own business, she was restricted by her family in various ways, including frozen funds, etc.
So she needed a big piece of news to vent her feelings.
She is going to fire the first shot for the Truth News Company.
This first shot must be shocking enough to trigger big news that attracts the attention of the whole country.
"I wonder if you have ever heard of a living person being issued a death certificate?" asked Rawdon.
Feiya was stunned for a moment and said, "There is such a thing. It has been reported in the news."
It was indeed reported in the news, but unfortunately, there was no follow-up after that and no one took it seriously at all.
"Is this big news?" Fia frowned.
In her opinion, such news should not count.
After all, it’s not special news, and it has been reported in newspapers before.
"That depends on how you operate it." Roton said with a smile.
"Director, I would like to ask for your advice." Fia realized that Roton must have some good ideas, and she was very interested.
"My parents recently returned to their hometown, a rural area in Gujarat..." Luoton told Fia in detail what his father had encountered.
"I didn't expect your father would encounter such a thing." Feiya said after listening, "I know this matter is difficult to handle. Almost no one can successfully change the death certificate."
"Here's the key point." Luo Dun smiled, "Everyone knows this is wrong. The person is still alive, so why can't the death certificate be changed? Is it that the government is unwilling to do so? Why is it unwilling to do so? Is it because the procedure is cumbersome and troublesome?"
"That's what they said," Fia replied. "That's indeed a fact. Who doesn't know how efficient the government is? I don't know how long it will take to complete the change process."
"No, those are just excuses," Rawdon said. "The real problem is that the officials who were responsible for issuing death certificates received bribes."
"I know that, too." Feiya smiled. "Government officials are known to make money in various ways. This is an unspoken rule. Normally, no one would investigate. If they really want to investigate, they will just return the money. The amount of the bribe is not that big. Who would make a big fuss over such a small matter?"
Having said that, Fia narrowed her eyes and smiled meaningfully at Roton.
Roden was so absorbed in this matter that he didn't notice Feiya's slightly strange look. Instead, he continued, "You think it's too simple. This can't be solved by just returning the money. It's not that easy."
"Can't you just refund the money?" Fia asked.
In her opinion, it is still a procedural problem. It is too cumbersome and complicated, so the government is unwilling to do this.
After all, in the government's view, there are actually not many people who have been issued death certificates.
Are there tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of these people? Even if there are hundreds of thousands, in the eyes of the government, it really is nothing.
Just look at how many rape cases occur every year. If they turn a blind eye to such heinous crimes, how can they care about something like a death certificate?
A dead person is nothing, let alone a living person. Why bother to change the certificate? "Return the money? Of course not." Luo Dun laughed, "Those who paid bribes can occupy the land and other property of the dead person because they have the death certificate. There are many people involved. Once a commotion breaks out, it will be difficult for government officials to suppress it. Many of these people are well-connected people in the local area, and the relevant government officials may not dare to offend them."
Fia was silent. She immediately realized that her previous thoughts were indeed a bit superficial.
Indeed, it is these vested interests that are obstructing.
As Roton said, issuing these death certificates is not a difficult bribe and can be done by many low-level government officials.
Logically speaking, such a small matter is nothing and can be changed at any time.
But with this change, the person who was legally dead is now alive, and the things he owned before naturally still belong to him.
How can the powerful and wealthy who monopolize these benefits agree to this?
So such a small thing becomes complicated.
As I said, those who are issued death certificates are often the poor, and no one cares about these people, so everyone knows about this, but no one is trying to change it.
In India, are the poor considered human beings? In the eyes of these powerful people, they are no different from animals.
"I think that once this matter spreads on a large scale, coupled with the fact that the major parties are fighting fiercely right now, it will be able to have an impact that will sweep across the country," said Roton. "After all, this kind of thing happens all over the country, it's not just an isolated case, and it can spread quickly."
"I've made up my mind about this news." Feiya said with a firm face, "You're right. We should take this opportunity to make a big deal out of this matter. Otherwise, it will be difficult to handle this matter."
"My only worry now is that the ruling party in Gujarat is the BJP, which is the largest opposition party. You have already offended the ruling Congress Party, and you may offend the BJP next, thus offending the first and second largest parties in the country at once," Luoton sighed.
"Everyone says I'm a heroine in the news industry. If I don't have this little courage, what kind of heroine am I?" Feiya said with a smile. "Besides, I will report the truth and will not deliberately discredit anyone. Even if they are unhappy, what can they do to me?"
Roton also smiled, fearing that the People's Party would also suppress Fia. If that happened, the road ahead for the Real News Company might be a bit difficult.
Roton certainly didn't want to see this scene.
But this time is indeed a good opportunity for Fia, a good time for her to display her talents and expand her influence.
Risks and opportunities coexist.
"In fact, I think you are too pessimistic." Feiya said, "The ruling government of Gujarat is still very capable. In recent years, the economic growth has been ranked first among all states in the country. It can be said that it has made great achievements in the economy and other aspects. Such leaders are very courageous and have carried out various reforms in the state, which is not available in other states. And our reporting of this matter is a bad habit of all states. This is wrong. Shouldn't it be reformed and corrected? Maybe they will be grateful to me."
As for Fia's self-satisfaction, Roton is not so optimistic.
The old immortal is a man of great courage and is definitely a heroic figure.
This kind of person is decisive in killing and is not easy to talk to.
For example, when he was the Chief Minister of Gujarat, there was a conflict between Hindus and Muslims in Gujarat. He completely sided with Hindus and suppressed Islam, causing a tragedy in which thousands of people were killed or injured. He was so cruel that even the United States issued sanctions against him.
It was only after he became prime minister that the United States lifted its sanctions against him.
After all, given India's size and the need to win over the United States, it is impossible to impose sanctions on the country's leaders.
Before, Laoxian was just the supreme leader of a state, so he was sanctioned.
In fact, this so-called sanction is nothing more than not welcoming the old immortal to the United States. It does not cause any substantial harm to him.
Of course, this would give the domestic opposition some excuses to attack him.
Unfortunately, the old man later promoted Hindu populism, which made the BJP's support rate soar and reach its peak. Later, he suppressed the Congress Party to the point that it was almost suffocating.
But this is not an excuse that can knock him down.
After all, Hinduism is the largest religion in India, with nearly 1 billion believers. As long as the Hinduism is won over, the votes will be enough for the BJP to become the boss.
The Islamic population is actually quite large, at 200 million, but it is far less than the Hindu population.
In India's electoral system, basically everyone has the right to vote, which means that whoever wins over Hinduism will be invincible, relying on their large population base.
Of course, Roton also felt that a heroic figure like Laoxian would not cause trouble for Fia over such a trivial matter.
After all, this matter is different from the one targeting Ashok.
One is aimed at the common bad habits among the people, and the other is directly aimed at politicians, especially the chief minister, the highest official in a state.
If Fia directly targets Lao Xian, she will find revenge, that's for sure.
So this matter will not necessarily offend the People’s Party, and some specific operations are still needed.
"In that case, what are your plans next?" asked Rawdon.
"How about I use your father's case as a starting point?" Feiya asked, "If you think it's inappropriate and don't want him to appear in front of the public, I can find someone else."
"Then let's talk about my father." Luo Dun said with a smile, "After all, this is the truth, not made up. I will let him cooperate with your interview."
"Thanks." Fia said with a smile.
"You're too polite. We don't need to talk about this." Roden laughed. "And I think we can add some details to this matter, so that everyone can see what the life of the person who has been issued a death certificate will be like. If it is some evil person, it will probably be a disaster for ordinary people."
"What do you want to do?" Fia asked curiously.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"I think so~~"
Fia put her ear close to Roden.
Roton only felt that the fragrance of Fia was stronger, and her white neck and beautiful little ears were close at hand.
I really have an urge to take a bite.
However, Roton still restrained himself. Fia was not Itas and Lisa, and the two of them were just pure friends now.
So he suppressed the evil thoughts in his heart and whispered his plan to Fia.
"Is this okay?" After hearing this, Fia's eyes lit up and her face was full of excitement.
Although she asked this question, Fia agreed with Roton's plan in her heart.
In this way, a lot of interesting links can be added to the interview process, making the news more attractive and exposing more government scandals.
This is what Fia wanted to do. This time, she not only wanted to solve the death certificate issue, but also wanted to supervise and criticize the government's daily work practices.
"That's definitely no problem." Rawdon said with a smile.
"Okay, I'll get ready. No, I'll let Yunando go to Gujarat to meet up with your father right away." Feiya rubbed her hands and said, "Also, we have to investigate related cases in Maharashtra. We can only investigate other nearby states. Time is too tight and there are not enough people. It's terrible. But these are enough. The same is true for other states. What do you think, Rawdon?"
"Haha~~" Luo Dun laughed, "I don't really understand these. I think you can definitely solve them."
"Okay, we'll be busy from now on." Feiya said with a smile, "Remember to introduce your rich friends to me as soon as possible. I want to expand the company, hire more employees, equip it with various vehicles and equipment, etc. Otherwise, how can I make it in time? Alas, now I can only let them travel by public transportation."
Feiya is currently short of funds and the company does not even have its own vehicle.
When employees go out for interviews or news searches, they usually take public transportation. They only take a taxi if it’s urgent.
These expenses will naturally be reimbursed by the company.
Every bit of savings we can get now is valuable.
But in this case, it will definitely not be as fast as other news media. News is all about speed. Whoever arrives first and reports first will have the upper hand.
"Don't worry, I'll take care of it right away." Roton said with a smile.
After saying that, Roden took out an exquisite box and handed it to Fia.
"What?" Fia asked.
"For you."
When Fia opened it, she saw a pair of gold earrings inside, which were very novel and exquisite in style.
Gold itself doesn't weigh that much, after all, they are earrings, but if the workmanship is taken into account, the price will be much higher.
Seeing Feiya looking at him with some confusion, Luoton couldn't help but explain with a smile: "This is to thank you. You helped me a lot when you were at All India Television."
"It seems so." Feiya smiled and said, "Okay, I accept your kindness."
Hearing this, Roton also laughed.
"But~~ it doesn't seem appropriate for you to give these as gifts, right?" Feiya stared at Roden and said with a smile, "Usually, gifts like this are only given between lovers."
"Ah? I'm being abrupt." Rawdon said hastily, "Then I'll change one for you."
"Forget it, let's take this." Feiya said with a grin, "I'm short of money right now. If I don't have enough money one day, this is made of gold and I can sell it for money."
"It's yours, you can do whatever you want with it." Rotten said with a smile.
After leaving Fia, Roton called Sori Goyal.
Regarding the investment in Truth News Company, Rotten used the name of Sori.
After all, Roton's own money came from illegal sources, so it would be difficult for him to invest in Fia so openly.
Sori is very busy now. He has taken over a lot of business in Harreg Township, especially the transportation from the coal mine. Even just a small part of it is enough to make him a fortune.
It can be said that the profit from coal transportation alone was more than that from all his previous businesses combined.
This was the benefit that Rotun brought him, and he was very grateful to Rotun.
Of course, his main focus now is on setting up the Harreg Divine Tea Company.
Sori has personally verified the tea of Lao Yoda.
The effect after drinking it is really good.
That night he couldn't hold back and interacted with three women at once. When he woke up the next day he felt extremely energetic, without any feeling of fatigue or discomfort.
Sori knew very well that this tea was absolutely the best for men, and no man could resist such temptation.
Especially for older men, the market demand is absolutely huge.
So he is very dedicated to this project.
He is full of expectations for Shencha Company, and the earning power of this project in the future will be absolutely terrifying.
