Chapter 12 Perfect Goddess
The Sun headquarters, London, England.
Editor-in-chief Rebekah Wade stared at the computer screen. On the screen was the front page of The Sun, which would appear on major newsstands in the UK early tomorrow morning. This was of vital importance to a newspaper.
How to do everything possible to grab the reader's attention at the first glance? Layout design is the key.
Every day, Rebekah Wade would worry about this matter for a long time.
If there's a day when he can't handle it, that's when he'll be fired.
A lot of things happened today, for example, the aftermath of the divorce between actress Cheryl and football star Ashley Cole is still continuing to ferment; after England's defeat in the World Cup in South Africa, the issue of whether the head coach should stay or go is also a topic of great concern to the English.
But these topics have been hyped up for a long time and gradually lost their novelty. Rebekah Wade always felt that something was not enough.
He wanted a topic that would capture the attention of all readers in an instant.
Just when Rebekah Wade was having a headache, the phone on the table rang at an inopportune time.
"Boss, I just received news that the Daily Mail has confirmed tomorrow's front-page headline."
Rebekah Wade was immediately alerted when she heard this. "What's the title?"
"who is he?"
"Are you sure?" Rebekah Wade was a little disappointed. The title was not very attractive.
"Sure. They might use a photo taken in Euros Mall of a person's back, a beautiful Chinese woman, and an Aston Martin as the photo. This Chinese person just spent six million pounds in Euros Mall to order four of Aston Martin's latest ONE-77s. It can be said that he spent a lot of money."
Listening to his intelligence officers talking about what happened to Yang Huan and others in the Euros Mall, Rebekah Wade didn't feel very interested at first, but gradually, some ideas took shape in his mind.
A mysterious and young Chinese tycoon spent a fortune on four limited edition Aston Martins...
All of this seemed very clear at first glance, with nothing interesting to dig into. But in Rebekah Wade's mind, it gradually connected into a very interesting and explosive inside story.
Rebekah Wade suddenly had an idea and immediately dialed an internal number. "Immediately ask someone to check all the top hotels in London to see if there are any young Chinese rich people staying there in the past two days. By the way, find out his background and the purpose of his visit to London."
Just after hanging up the phone, he dialed an internal number again, "What's going on with your automotive section? For such a juicy piece of news, the article you wrote is as bland as boiled water. Don't you want to do this anymore? Send all the on-site information about the Euros Mall to my office, quickly!"
Then he made another call to Steven Howard, a famous reporter from The Sun, and asked him to come to my office right away.
In less than ten minutes, everything Rebekah Wade wanted appeared in front of him, and Steven Howard sat in front of him, looking intently at the pile of information and photos in front of him.
"I asked someone to check. They are staying at the Hilton Hotel next to London Hyde Park, but the hotel is not booked in their name. Guess who booked the hotel for them?" Rebekah Wade has figured it out.
This Chinese person is the explosive material he wants!
"Who?" Steven Howard is best at association and writing.
"Cash Harris!" Rebekah Wade laughed, and he felt that he had found the right direction.
This is a keen sense of smell accumulated over the years, and it must be correct.
Of course Steven Howard had heard of this man, the best football investment consultant in the City of London.
"Could it be that this Chinese person is going to invest in football?"
"Didn't the Chinese buy Birmingham before? Even though it's not doing very well, with this beginning, who can say there won't be a sequel? And you should know that football is always the hottest topic, and China has been the most concerned topic for the British people in recent years. The mysterious Chinese capital buying the Premier League team will be the hottest news tomorrow!"
Steven Howard nodded. "But I don't think that's enough. It would be better to be more specific, such as his goal. Also, I don't think he just wants to buy a Premier League team. He might want to buy something else."
Rebekah Wade laughed out loud when she heard this. "So, I've figured out that tomorrow's headline will be, 'Chinese capital is aggressively acquiring the UK?'"
The title is indeed sensational, but the content is far-fetched, but none of this matters. What matters is that it attracts attention.
As for the authenticity of the report, it doesn’t matter at all and no one will care.
"I know what to do!" Steven Howard has also worked with Rebekah Wade for many years, and he understood as soon as he was reminded.
Watching his right-hand man leave with a pile of information, Rebekah Wade sat in his office chair, crossed his legs, and felt extremely comfortable, because he had a feeling that this topic could be hyped for at least three days.
As for what will be hyped three days later, we will talk about it when the time comes. Maybe Ashley Cole and his wife will be back together by then?
Or maybe the British Prime Minister suddenly stepped down?
Who knows?

Longhai City, China.
Like all elderly people, Yang Baoping goes to bed early and gets up early.
His favorite thing to do every morning after getting up was to sit in the wooden pavilion in the yard and read the morning newspaper.
He reads all kinds of newspapers, including serious and authoritative party journals and newspapers, as well as some more entertaining morning newspapers.
As usual, he read the newspaper slowly, one by one.
When he saw the Longhai Morning Post, he was attracted by the news headlines and photos on the front page.
"China's super-beautiful rich woman threatens to take over the UK, and her massive investment shocked the world!"
This title is indeed attractive enough, with beautiful women, rich people, and Europe, which is the most popular country in China. It has all the popular elements.
The photo was a reposted one and was taken in London's top luxury department store Euros. The photo showed a gorgeous lady wearing a Prada OL suit, with long black hair and a flawless and charming appearance, which easily attracted everyone's attention.
"Is it her?" Yang Baoping recognized the person in the photo at a glance. It was Zhang Ning who was previously kept by his grandson Yang Huan.
"How did she become a super beautiful and wealthy woman?"
After looking inside, Yang Baoping discovered that it was his beloved grandson who had ordered four expensive luxury cars in London, England. This caused an uproar among the British media and the public, who rushed to hype that Chinese capital was going to acquire British industries. The Longhai Morning Post was just reprinting some reports from European media.
Of course, in the process of reprinting, some appropriate processing in line with national conditions is inevitable.
"This kid has only been gone for less than four or five days, and he's already caused such a big fuss!" Yang Baoping was a little amused.
Should he say that his precious grandson is a troublemaker? Or should he say that he is capable?
Yang Baoping took out an old people's phone from his pocket, entered the home code and dialed. Not long after, he saw Yang Wenfeng walking out of the villa.
"Dad, are you looking for me?" Yang Wenfeng still respected his father very much.
"Look, Ah Huan got into trouble in England!" Yang Baoping handed the newspaper over.
I casually checked other newspapers and found that almost all entertainment newspapers had this report. The headlines were different and the content was somewhat different, but in the final analysis, they were all hyping up the story of a beautiful Chinese billionaire making a huge investment in the UK.
And almost all media are asking, who is she?
"This brat, he spent six million pounds on four cars? That's sixty million RMB!" Yang Wenfeng slammed the newspaper in his hand on the table, and was so angry that he was almost out of breath.
"I've seen money losers before, but I've never seen one as loser as this. Does he really think his home is a money printing machine?"
Yang Baoping laughed after hearing this, "Why are you angry? What's there to be angry about?"
"No, Dad, he's only been there for a few days, how much money has he spent? If he stays any longer, I'm afraid not only will he spend all the 300 million, he might even end up in debt."
"So what?" Yang Baoping was not unhappy at all.
"Dad, why do you always protect him?" Yang Wenfeng had long disagreed with Yang Huan starting his own business.
He simply felt that his son was not that kind of material.
"I'm not protecting him, I'm telling the truth."
"What facts?"
Yang Baoping pushed the newspaper in front of him towards his son and said, "Count how many newspapers have reprinted this news. Go online and check it out. I guarantee that domestic and foreign websites are going crazy over it. If it were you, how much money would it cost to achieve such an effect?"
When Yang Wenfeng heard this, he fell silent.
Indeed, advertisements in newspapers and websites are very valuable these days.
"I think six million pounds is too cheap. I also think this guy is smart. He pushed the woman named Zhang Ning out and hid himself behind the scenes to maintain a sense of mystery. I believe that major newspapers and media in the UK, Europe and China will continue to follow up on the report."
"If he could create some more news before this wave of reports dies down..."
Of course Yang Wenfeng understood. If it were just like this, the six million pounds would be a one-time deal and would fade away in a day or two. But if it could continue to create news, the effect would be completely different.
"Dad, I don't believe he planned this on purpose. It can only be called luck."
"Luck?" Yang Baoping recalled what Yang Huan said that day, shook his head and smiled, "Then let's just wait and see!"

The advantage of the Internet age is that an interesting piece of news, as long as it happens on this earth, can spread around the world in a very short time.
The disturbance created by Yang Huan in the UK spread back to China, and unexpectedly led to Zhang Ning's sudden popularity.
Overnight, photos of Zhang Ning became the focus of astonishment for countless otakus in China, and countless otaku netizens were eager to dig up clues and information about her.
The two words "Zhang Ning" rushed to the top of Baidu's search list in a short period of time and became a household name.
Soon someone found the explosive news.
A registered user of the Longhai University student forum who claimed to be her boyfriend came out to clarify for her, saying that her name was Zhang Ning and that she was the campus beauty of Longhai University, one of the best universities in the country, but she was not a super rich person. On the contrary, she came from an ordinary working-class family and had no identity background. She even had to borrow money to pay for her university tuition.
The news quickly spread across the domestic Internet, and everyone was excited.
No one believed that the man was her boyfriend. They thought it was just some goddess fan’s fantasy.
But there are no answers to what she did after graduation, what business she started, and how she went from being an ordinary person to a super beauty and rich person in the eyes of the British media overnight.
Mystery always tends to arouse people's interest in further exploration.
Some people said that she made a lot of money through investment after graduation; others said that she was actually a female celebrity and the whole thing was a piece of news fabricated by her agency to make her famous; some even said that she was actually the only daughter of a super-rich man, a typical second-generation rich, and her previous ordinariness was just to experience the life of ordinary people.
There were all kinds of rumors, but no one speculated that she was being kept by a rich man.
Perhaps, in the eyes of netizens who like Zhang Ning, such a pure and charming goddess should not be associated with the word "kept".
In short, Zhang Ning became an Internet celebrity overnight and became the perfect goddess in the hearts of countless netizens.
Not only in China, but also in Europe and the United States, this news has quickly become the hottest topic through the media's exaggeration and hype, and many media are even digging for more inside information.
But as the instigator of the whole incident, Yang Huan was on the highway to Southampton at this time.
