The rejuvenation of a great nation: from educated youth to national treasure scientist

Xiao Jiang smiled and asked, "Does Mr. Joyce have any questions?"

Joyce said: "Does he really think that by creating such an award, he can compete with the lizard science, literature and art circles for influence?"

Xiao Jiang shook his head and said, "I think it will be difficult to compete with Xi Fang for influence, right?"

"It's definitely not enough to just rely on an award. Even if the prize money is high, fame and influence cannot be cultivated overnight."

“I think it will take at least ten years for it to be recognized by the world.”

Joyce still had the New York Times in his hand.

He said: "But the article says that this award is awarded and announced by the Dragon country authorities, which means that it is an official award."

"Presumably, once a decision is made, it will be taken seriously."

Xiao Jiang nodded and said, "That's true."

"At the very least, they will definitely hold this first session."

"Pangu Group is quite wealthy. They can spend tens of millions of dollars every year to give out awards. I think there should be no problem at all."

Joyce's eyes became enthusiastic: "Well! Then I must apply for this award!"

"I want to strive to get a large bonus!"

Xiao Jiang smiled and said, "With Mr. Joyce's contribution to biopharmaceuticals, I think you will definitely win the award."

Joyce said, "Xiao Jiang, come and help me translate. My paper needs to be translated into Chinese, and then published in an academic journal in Longguo to be eligible for the award."

Xiao Jiang quickly nodded and said, "No problem, Mr. Joyce."

……

This article in the New York Times has received a lot of attention.

After all, it is now mainly a newspaper subscribed by the elites!

The reporter and editor-in-chief of the New York Times believed that if they wrote the report in that way, it would definitely have a serious negative impact on the Chinese people, and no one in the academic community in Judaism would support it.

After all, they have been reporting on Dragon Country through a gloomy, mysterious and terrifying filter for so many years.

However, they overlooked one thing.

The thing is: the bonus is too high!

A bonus of $100 million is equivalent to a considerable portion of a professor's or scholar's 10-year salary.

It is true that money can move people's hearts.

Even though most of the Jusa experts, professors, scholars, artists and writers have a little prejudice against dragons, they will still try to understand it for the sake of money, to see what is going on and whether they have a chance to win the prize.

This single prize of up to one million dollars has become a glaring fish hook with a tempting bait.

On this day, almost all Jusa scientists, writers, and artists were talking about the Pangu Prize and wondering whether they had a chance to win the grand prize.

This also prompted many elites to take action.

Some began to look for reliable channels to gain a deeper understanding of Dragon Country, because they themselves did not quite believe in the propaganda of a considerable portion of the Jewish media!

Some simply decided to travel to Dragon Country to get to know the local people and see what kind of country it is.

In short, Harit probably never dreamed that their report slandering the Pangu Award was actually a promotion for the award.

Almost all the media in the Lizard Party are trying to discredit the Pangu Prize.

They almost unanimously thought of Catherine's smear angle.

In the past, their negative reports on dragons always worked.

As long as relevant reports are published, they will arouse a lot of ridicule in their country.

However, this time, they obviously failed to achieve their goal.

Throughout the Xilizard world, most of the elites in the scientific and literary circles were not misled by this wave of public opinion. They all began to learn about the Pangu Award.

……

In Wang Haoran's office, he is listening to a relevant report.

The person who read the report to him was none other than his wife Xiao Lijuan.

"Haoran, after we released the news, major media outlets in most countries around the world reported on it."

"We have analyzed the major media outlets in the Lizard Kingdom and found that they really do blacken China whenever they see one!"

"They didn't say a single good word about the Pangu Prize. They just slandered, spread rumors, and made conspiracy theories, calling for a boycott of our Pangu Prize."

Xiao Lijuan said with a smile.

He was not in a hurry or worried about it.

Wang Haoran smiled and said, "This is what we expected."

"As long as we can get this news out, who cares how they report it?"

Xiao Lijuan smiled and nodded, saying, "That's right!"

“Their negative publicity is working pretty well.”

"Our people conducted interviews and research in the local area. The scientific and artistic circles in Jusa and Guojia are very curious about our award and want to learn more about it. Most people hope to have the opportunity to win the award."

"I have a feeling that once we officially announce the criteria and qualifications for the award, there will be many elites in the science and art circles of Lizardland who will be eager to participate."

Wang Haoran smiled and said, "We must find the right gimmick and do a good job of publicity, and try to suppress the Nobel Prize in the shortest possible time."

In fact, the reason why the Nobel Prize became so popular and became the world's number one award was that it stood out because of its high prize money.

When Nobel donated the fund to establish the awards, the prize money for each individual award was as high as 15 kronor. At that time, it was equivalent to 10 years' income of an elite, which was a huge sum of money.

However, later on, for a long period of time, the individual prize money for the Nobel Prize continued to decline.

After all, the krona is depreciating rapidly!

The current Nobel Prize for a single award is approximately 100 million kronor, equivalent to more than US dollars.

According to Wang Haoran's instructions, the Pangu Award was to leak the news first and let the Lizard media do some smear reporting, which could be considered a warm-up.

Two days later, the Pangu Award press conference was officially held.

Almost all major media from all countries were invited to this press conference.

The press conference was held in the largest conference hall of the State Guesthouse.

The Lunar New Year is almost approaching.

The air in the capital city began to be filled with the atmosphere of the New Year.

New York Times reporter Katherine drove to the State Guesthouse with a serious expression.

She is not in a very good mood.

Because she has realized that her so-called large-scale report did not achieve the results she wanted.

On the contrary, the article attracted the attention of a large number of scientists and literary and art workers.

It seemed that those people did not care about the alarmist words in her article. Instead, they felt that they could participate in the Pangu Award selection activities and fight for a chance to win the award.

Catherine parked the car in the parking lot of the State Guesthouse.

She closed the car door cursing, thinking, maybe the best way is not to report it or ignore it!

Only in this way can we eliminate the other party's influence on the Lizard's elite class.

Catherine thought so and walked forward.

She had only taken a few steps when she heard someone calling her.

She looked over and saw that it was the Bild reporter Collinsman. "Hello, Mr. Collinsman," Catherine replied with a dark face.

Collinsman smiled and said, "You seem very unhappy. Is there anything I can help you with?"

Catherine shrugged and said, "I find that the Dragon people are really too cunning."

"They were leading us by the nose the whole time."

Catherine talked about her past experience in which she wrote a long article to discredit the Pangu Prize, but it ended up causing the prize to attract widespread attention and strong interest from the scientific, literary and art circles.

Collinsman said: "I have read your manuscript, it is very well written."

"The Dragon people are obviously playing an open conspiracy in setting up this award."

"They just want to compete with us. It seems that they even want to dominate the world's scientific research and literary trends. They have big ambitions."

Catherine said: "It's really infuriating. Those damn guys have clearly told them that the Dragons are fighting for dominance and trying to reshape the world order, but there are still many scientists, artists, and writers who are flocking to it and are looking forward to this award."

"They are too selfish. They don't consider the interests of the entire lizard at all."

Collinsman looked at Catherine with a half-smile and said, "Miss Catherine, if someone paid you one million dollars to be more fair in your future reports and not look at him with tinted glasses, would you be willing?"

Catherine was stunned for a moment, then immediately shook her head and said, "Even if you give me one million dollars, I must be loyal to our Jusa nation and must safeguard the interests of Jusa."

"Oh no, my reports are always fair and written strictly in accordance with journalistic principles. I have my own professional ethics!"

Collinsman smiled, shook his finger and said, "Do you swear?"

"Are you really fair and objective when reporting news about Dragon Country? Do you really think that I don't know your working principles?"

"Of course, the principles of the Photo Agency are not much different from those of the New York Times."

Catherine said angrily, "Of course, you don't have to abide by the principle of objectivity and fairness when reporting news about your opponent, because there are no principles in competition."

Collinsman smiled and said, "So, whose interests are you defending? Are you really defending the interests of the vast majority of the Jusa people?"

"You are defending the interests of the big chaebol, right? The interests of your boss behind you, right?"

Catherine was a little surprised: "Oh my God! What are you talking about?"

"Mr. Collinsman, I've always thought you were a little weird. Could it be that you've been bribed?"

"Did Wang Haoran offer you a large sum of money that you couldn't refuse? And then, you tried to bribe me? This is terrible!"

“You have a fantastic imagination,” Collinsman said.

"I just think that Long has always been good. He is truly responsible for his people and he has done a really good job."

"So, for such an excellent country, we should tolerate and support him."

"Their establishment of the Pangu Prize has played a huge role in promoting the development of science, culture and art around the world."

"Miss Catherine, I think we should be happy to see it happen!"

Catherine stared at Collinsman with wide eyes, shook her head and said, "Are you crazy?"

"We are different after all. We are always competing with them for dominance over this world!"

"If we lose, we'll lose a lot, we'll be miserable!"

"Have you ever thought about that?"

Collinsman smiled and said, "You keep saying 'we'. Are you putting yourself in the ranks of the super-rich?"

"Catherine, don't forget, you're just a wage earner!"

"You just get a not-so-high salary from your boss to support yourself!"

"You work so hard for them and protect their interests, but if you make even the slightest mistake, or even if you don't work hard or the news you write is not good enough or attractive enough, you may be fired!"

"Miss, remember, you are not a member of the ruling class. You are just a tool at best."

"So stop beating your chest!"

"You can continue to write articles that discredit Long, because that is your duty and you make money from it."

"But I hope you won't beat your chest and say those stupid things again. You have to leave a way out for yourself, right? If you do something too extreme, it won't do you any good at all!"

After Collinsman finished speaking, he quickened his pace and walked towards the venue.

Catherine shrugged and watched Collinsman walk away with a little confusion.

Why does this male reporter from Bild have such strange ideas?

There's nothing really wrong with him, is there?

However, looking at his recent articles, they seem to be quite offensive to Longdu.

Catherine was a little confused.

For someone like Catherine, it is generally impossible for her to have only one identity.

She is a reporter for the New York Times and she also works for AIC.

People like her usually have very rigid ideas.

But even so, Catherine was actually touched by Collinsman's words just now.

Catherine followed the crowd of reporters to the press conference.

When she went in, she was surprised to see that there were so many people!
This hall can accommodate more than a thousand people, and the key point is that it is basically full.

Every media outlet has its place.

The first half are important local media in Dragon Country, and the rest are generally important media in Lizard Country.

Catherine's seat was actually in the first row.

Next to Catherine is Horne, a reporter from The Times.

She couldn't help but complain to him about Collinsman.

Horn smiled and said, "Miss Catherine, you are not wrong, and Collinsman is not wrong either."

"You wrote an article that discredited the Pangu Prize, which caused a great response. You have already achieved success, and you are worthy of the salary your boss pays you. I think it is good enough."

"But have you ever thought about why scientists, writers, and artists are not influenced by your article?"

Katherine muttered, "Because they saw the $100 million prize."

"But I dare say that money is not so easy to get."

Horn smiled and said, "Everyone knows it's hard to get! But after all, there is still hope!"

"The Dragon Kingdom is no longer what it used to be."

"Their scientists can even get more research funding and resources than Lizard scientists, and their salaries and benefits are no worse than Lizard scientists."

"Therefore, it is destined that a large number of Lizard scientists will need to turn to the East to find their own tracks and support here."

"This is the real reason why scientists, artists and writers have a favorable impression of the Pangu Prize."

"Ms. Catherine, their literary and artistic awards include journalists!"

"If you win the prize, you will get more than $100 million. You will even have the opportunity to get the huge Dragon Country market! Even if you offend the Lizard Party, you can still be successful in the East. People always have to leave a way out for themselves..."

After listening to Horn's words, Catherine fell into deep thought: She was thinking, so they all thought that way! However, it seemed to make sense...

The situation in Jusa is not very good now. Inflation is serious. Many large companies have cut their businesses and laid off many employees due to competition from the dragon. The income of ordinary people has shrunk, and there are still many complaints among the people.

So, isn't it really a bit stupid to blindly stand against the dragon and criticize it hysterically?
As Catherine thought about this, she began to have an epiphany: it turned out that everyone was leaving a way out for themselves, and only she was foolishly jumping around at the risk of completely offending the dragon.
