Chapter 489 Closing Ceremony

……

Ludao International Conference Center.

Poster area.

"Clothes that can automatically adjust the temperature?"

When Chen Hao saw the title of the thesis on the poster, he was taken aback for a moment.
The stall owner was a blond boy who seemed to recognize Chen Hao, and excitedly introduced his scientific research project in front of Chen Hao.

10 minute later.

Chen Hao couldn't listen anymore, interrupted the other party's words, and asked impatiently:
"Which school are you from?"

"I'm a tenured professor at Columbia University."

"Primary or secondary?"

"Vice..." The other party replied in a dazed manner.

Chen Hao remained silent, but used the academic eye skill on the other party.

As a result, seeing the success rate showing 5%, there was a hint of disappointment in his eyes.

He just heard that the other party is from Columbia University, and he also had a surge of expectation. After all, even an associate professor is a lifelong teaching guide, which is not something ordinary people can get.

But the success rate of this research and development...

excuse me!
Unexpectedly, Columbia also has parallel imports...

The corner of Chen Hao's mouth twitched, he turned and left.

The other party was still not reconciled, and shouted at Chen Hao's back.

"As long as you invest [-] million US dollars, once you succeed, you will get a market of [-] billion US dollars!"

Chen Hao not only did not stop, but accelerated his pace a little.

The voice behind was still shouting.

"It doesn't need $8000 million, just $[-] million!"

"$5000 million!"

"Two... $1000 million is enough!"

I picked up the opportunity of lithium-air batteries from Professor Bunier, and I wanted to go to the Poster posting area, but I didn't expect that there are quite a lot of parallel imports here.

Whether it is the keynote report or the special report of the sub-venue, it is selected by both Guanghua University and "Nature" magazine, which is naturally very rigorous.

As for the poster posting area, as long as there are guests participating in the conference, they can apply to the organizer, and generally they will agree to post it.

It's just that I didn't expect to encounter several strange things one after another.

Chen Hao was not in the mood to continue shopping. He listened to a few interesting special lectures in the afternoon, and continued to attend the dinner in the evening, trying to lure some big names to Guanghua University.

I definitely didn't dig it out, but in the past two days, I have invited ten or twenty guests to visit Guanghua University after the closing ceremony tomorrow afternoon.

……

9 o'clock the next morning.

Chen Hao, who was handling business in the principal's office, received a call from Cao Lihao.

"okay, I get it."

"Mouse, thank you so much, Enen, see you later."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Hao finally felt relieved.

Cao Lihao doesn't study hard, but he is very diligent in making friends and picking up girls, and his friends are all over the United States.

The matter of asking the other party to investigate also came to fruition, thinking of what Cao Lihao said on the phone just now.

Chen Hao couldn't help showing a strange look on his face.
"Pennian mad scientist?"

This is Professor Bunier's nickname at the University of Pennsylvania Park Campus. To be able to obtain this unique title is naturally due to some past behaviors of the other party.

On the contrary, it is not bad in terms of character and word of mouth.

With Cao Lihao's words, he can use Bunier with confidence.

Thinking that after the conversation last night, the other party went back to pack their things, and got on the plane back to Pennsylvania that afternoon.

It was almost over the Pacific Ocean now.

"Crazy or not, I don't know, but it's quite strange..."

After dealing with things at school for a while, I drove from Guanghua to Ludao Conference Center at 10 o'clock.

11: 30.

Conference center, concert hall.

Mandel, editor-in-chief of "Nature" magazine, stepped onto the stage.

The electronic screen behind him also changed accordingly.

【How to publish an article in a high-impact molecular journal】

【Chaplin Mandel】

【Editor-in-Chief of Nature, Doctor of Oxford University】

[August 2020]

This time the China Forum is co-sponsored by Guanghua University and "Nature" magazine, especially for experts and scholars outside of China, "Nature" is making an effort to invite, the keynote report is fine, but of course the special report will be reciprocated. The other party advertises once.

The content of the talk is mainly about some skills and experience in the format of the paper and submission.

There were quite a few people who came to this special report meeting of the "Nature" magazine, but most of them were graduate students or young scholars.

As the world's top academic journal, the regular issue of "Nature" is an unattainable dream for young scholars and graduate students.

If you have a first-authored "Nature" paper in your hand, at least if you return to China, as long as it is not one of the top 985 schools, you can enter other schools at will, and it is not impossible to ask for a lower level, or even directly give it to the full professor.

After half an hour, on the way to dry rice.

Editor-in-Chief Mandel and Chen Hao walked side by side.

"Principal Chen, with the continuous improvement of your scientific research strength in China, the number of papers published by Chinese scholars in the journal "Nature" shows an upward trend every year."

Mandel paused at this point, and said to Chen Hao very sincerely: "Our "Nature" magazine attaches great importance to China, and very much hopes to continue to strengthen the cooperative relationship with your school."

As for how to strengthen?
Of course it was submitted.

Chen Hao glanced at the other party, and jokingly said: "Our Guanghua may run a Chinese journal in the future, and then won't it conflict with you?"

"of course not."

Mandel squeezed a smile on his face, "It would be quite difficult for Guanghua to start a journal, but with President Chen's strength, I believe there is no problem. But it is not that simple to start a journal. If you really have this idea, President Chen At that time, our "Nature" Publishing Group can cooperate with Guanghua and use our distribution channels to distribute."

Chen Hao was a little surprised, and couldn't help asking: "Editor Mandel, are you sure you're not joking?"

If Guanghua runs its own journal, of course the most important papers will be published in its own journal in the future.

But "Nature" is still willing to support Guanghua's publication?

"Of course I'm not joking. We have also speculated about President Chen's idea."

Mandel sighed, and said helplessly: "Since this is an unchangeable future, it is much better to be an ally than an opponent."

Of course, there were some things he didn't say.

Why does Guanghua's journal "Nature" still assist?
Guanghua University is different from its old rival "Science".

The former is a college, and the latter is a peer!

No matter how Guanghua University manages journals, students of Guanghua University still need to publish journals. Even if they are not published in their own journals, they can also be published in the main issue of "Nature" or other sub-journals.

The "Science" magazine is different, it is a peer competitor, and there is no possibility of cooperation at all.

That being the case, why don't we make friends with Guanghua University and start "Science" magazine together!
"interesting."

Chen Hao pondered for a while, and his smile became brighter when he thought about it clearly.

It seems that running a Chinese journal is much easier than I imagined. What needs to be considered in the future is how to solve the content problem. Otherwise, with the assistance of "Nature", even if the publishing and distribution problems are solved, the content will be overthrown.

After walking for a while, I came to the restaurant. Chen Hao had been learning from Mandel during the meal.

……

1:50pm.

As time counts down, the closing ceremony of the 2020 Nature China Forum is about to begin...
