Chapter 2 wedge

Ino Izumi, assistant editor-in-chief of Japan's Asahi Shimbun, has just finished handling the news of the day.Years of experience in journalism told him that this period is a time when there is less news. According to his usual work practice, he brewed a cup of strong black tea, sat comfortably in a chair, and rubbed his forehead while drinking the tea. Feeling a bit tired.He couldn't help admitting to himself that he was getting old.The news industry is really tough. Yi Neng Quanwen often looks enviously at the young reporters of the news agency going out for interviews energetically. Occasionally, when he hears a little clue, he is excited like clockwork.This industry needs experience, but it also needs passion and energy, but often when a reporter has accumulated enough experience, he will find that his energy can no longer keep up.

Thinking of his time when he was young, Yi Neng Quanwen secretly smiled wryly.At that time, he was a reporter in the cultural department. His extensive knowledge of history and art won him the praise of "knowledge reporter" in the news agency, and his outstanding work performance also made him sit in his current position step by step.This gave him another halo, as if his outstanding knowledge made him a news genius.But he knew in his heart that the relatively small amount of news in the cultural field would allow him time to fully study and extract the greatest news value from it.If you are faced with complicated social news and entertaining news, and you encounter a few emergencies every day, it is almost impossible to become a "knowledgeable" reporter, because you have no time to study them.

Yi Neng Quanwen gently shook the cup, and through the glass door he could see the busy reporters and editors in the work hall. They might one day sit in their seats, but who knows, now Yi Neng really wants to Go back to the cultural department, be an ordinary reporter, and never have to face all kinds of other news. The fax machine on the desk beeped a few times, reminding him that a faxed document needs to be received.He happily pressed the receive button, still leaning in the chair, recalling a group of domestic news articles that had just been edited by him. Now, the technical department is busy making it, and his masterpiece can be seen on the Internet in a while up.

The fax machine was beeping, and after a while, a piece of paper came out. He tore off the fax and looked at it without a glance. Someone provides a news lead.Yi Neng smiled.Such news clues are usually not accepted by news agencies for the simple reason that no one can guarantee its authenticity.At the same time, more and more good citizens are willing to report the big and small things around them as news clues, but the real news value is not much.Moreover, Mr. Yi Neng is sure that those clues that are truly newsworthy will not wait for the news clues to come, and his reporters must already be on the scene—this is the advantage of a big news agency.

Mr. Yi Neng sat leisurely in a chair, holding this fax and looking at it.Big joke!He smiled to himself, and decided to take this absurd "news" as a condiment for his break.This man must be an obsessed amateur historian, just as the world is never short of amateur mathematicians who claim to have proved Goldbach's conjecture.The history buff said in a fax that a Chinese Buddha head from the Northern and Southern Dynasties, which will be auctioned in Hong Kong, reveals a great secret of Buddhism.The secret is the Buddhist classics buried in a cave. These classics record the truth about the succession of Master Huineng, the sixth patriarch of Zen Buddhism in China. Its appearance can completely rewrite the history of Zen Buddhism in China.

Yi Neng smiled. For a person who has studied Buddhism for many years and is always interested in new archaeological discoveries in East Asia, this "news" is nothing short of fantasy.In fact, he is quite satisfied with his Buddhist attainments. In recent years, he was often invited to participate in the Buddhist exchanges between China and Japan. As a journalist, he was able to sit and communicate with experts from the Buddhist circles of the two countries. , At least it also shows his status in academia. Yi Neng's hand moved, and he was about to throw this fax into the wastebasket when suddenly, his eyes widened. The signature after this text was actually this person?Yi Neng knew that his prominent status meant that it was impossible for him to joke casually—he was a famous Buddhist scholar in Japan.

At this time, the phone rang, and a voice instructed him coldly, "Mr. Yi Neng, find a way to get this news out." "No! This is unproven." "Use some technical means, I know you have a way."
