1991 Starting from the core

"But this award is not a domestic award, it is an international award."

Seeing everyone's spirits lifted, Su Yuanshan immediately took a shot: "In principle, there is no distinction between race, nationality, color and any international relations. And the operation method will also refer to the methods of the Nobel Prize and the Wolf Prize. "

After hearing this, everyone looked at each other and fell silent.

——If we really follow the standards of the Nobel Prize and the Wolf Prize... then frankly speaking, in a short period of time, China will definitely not be able to compete with the world.

"But it's not meaningless to the domestic academic community. After all... some radical scholars in the West almost punched my nose and called me a national chauvinist. At least under the same level of reference, domestic scholars will definitely be given priority. And we can naturally eliminate some discrimination that cannot be proven, but we dare not say that it does not exist..."

"And more importantly, once this award has the influence and credibility close to that of the Nobel Prize, domestic scholars will be able to get rid of the current dilemma of being dominated by the West, or even following the West's lead."

Su Yuanshan shrugged as he said: "I really hope that one day, domestic scholars will not have to study English systematically, and will not have the inexplicable pride of being able to stand in front of colleagues around the world and give a report in fluent English. …”

Everyone looked at each other and finally smiled.

Putting aside the last sentence that hurts my heart, if we really want everyone to not have to worry about learning foreign languages... it may still have to wait, and it's not something that can be achieved with just a "Far Core Award" - that will be The overall level of domestic scientific research has improved and even led the world.

"By the way, what is the name of this award?"

"Maybe it's called the North Star Award."

Gao Xiaofang looked at Su Yuanshan in surprise: "Why isn't it called the Su Yuanshan Award?"

Su Yuanshan laughed: "It's not like I'm the only one who pays for it. I send out tens of millions a year. Even if I want to spend the money, I can't support it."

Now everyone was shocked: "Ten million a year?"

"Almost, after all...if the fame and influence are not as big as the Nobel Prize, we can only increase the prize money first."

Su Yuanshan smiled and briefly explained the preparations to everyone.

The money was certainly not provided by him personally, nor even by Yuanxin alone. Instead, he, Yuanxin and its related companies, including Xinghai, jointly contributed some money to form a North Star Award Foundation. Then the awards were slightly adjusted while aligning with the Nobel Prize, and six awards were set up in mathematics, physics, chemistry, biomedicine, computer science, and electrical engineering.

Basically, the first three are biased towards traditional theoretical science, while the latter three are biased towards practical applications, especially the separate award for electronic engineering, which has an obvious tendency to reward the semiconductor industry...

For the six awards, if the prize money is currently slightly higher than the Nobel Prize, each award will cost at least RMB 7 million. Taking into account the budget for the award ceremony, at least 50 million yuan is needed every year to cover the expenses on the award day alone - and this does not include the loss of the bonus committee.

But fortunately, there is no shortage of fund management experts in Yuanxin. Based on the current opinions, everyone agrees to entrust the fund to Xinghai Fund for management - an initial fund of one billion yuan only needs to complete 5% of the asset appreciation every year to ensure that The prize was issued smoothly.

"As for the right to nominate, for the first session, the committee will still seek opinions from well-known scholars around the world, and then the winners will naturally get the right to nominate, which is similar to the Nobel Prize. After all, they have been doing it for hundreds of years, and there are too many specialties. "

After listening to Su Yuanshan's introduction, of course everyone... could only listen.

Those of them here are considered to be the best in the country. But Su Yuanshan said it should be placed in the global field...

Then everyone is still self-aware.

But when Professor Wei Sihe heard that the last winner had the natural right to be nominated, he blinked and gave Su Yuanshan an ambiguous smile: "Professor Su, who did you nominate this year?"

"Me? Hehe... keep it secret."

Wei Sihe: "..."

Su Yuanshan laughed: "But to be honest, I haven't thought about it yet."

"I heard that we can nominate each other, but I don't know if that's true."

"Well... I'm not sure. Anyway, so far, no one has come to me to open the back door. But overall, everyone has seen that every winner of the Nobel Prize is well-deserved..." Su Yuanshan said After a pause: "I am referring to the field of natural sciences."

Everyone will smile.

"So, even if there are mutual nominations and awards, it must be based on sufficient qualifications, rather than putting an unqualified result on the Nobel Prize."

“What about the Lottery Day for Polaris?”

"September."

"One month earlier than the Nobel Prize?" Professor Wei Sihe blinked again: "If... we can hit the Nobel Prize list, then..."

Everyone was stunned and then burst into laughter.

The reason why the Wolf Prize has little influence at the beginning and is now known as the benchmark for the Nobel Prize is that in addition to its fair and excellent selection of winners, the most important thing is that its winners have a high overlap with the Nobel Prize. This undoubtedly gives people a clue that it is at the same level as the Nobel Prize.

Except there's a little less money.

Now that Yuanxin has set up awards, the money is more than the Nobel Prize. If we win the Nobel Prize a few more times...

But the Nobel Prize is known as the largest blind box. No one knows who it is before the lottery is drawn... How to hit it?

Su Yuanshan looked at everyone and blinked: "Maybe we bumped into them."

…

After Su Yuanshan had dinner with a group of professors from the Institute of Biology, he stayed at Jiang Qingchuan's house that night as usual.

In the small living room on the second floor, Su Yuanshan and Jiang Qingchuan sat together, drinking tea and chatting.

"Sister-in-law, I won't go to Dingxin tomorrow." Su Yuan held the tea cup and looked at Yang Yingying with a smile: "Just introduce the situation to me."

"An'an sends reports back every week, haven't you read them?" Yang Yingying pursed her lips and asked with some curiosity.

"How can I have time to watch..." Su Yuanshan shrugged: "Besides, she is Mr. Chen's subordinate, how can I have the nerve to interfere."

"Huh? You...are still talking about this?" Yang Yingying frowned slightly and became surprised.

Su Yuanshan and Jiang Qingchuan looked at each other and laughed at the same time.

Su Yuanshan shook his head while laughing. He knew that his joke had made Yang Yingying think it was true: "I'm just kidding. Although people outside the headquarters have always artificially divided our senior executives into factions, in fact, Yuanxin executives There really isn’t that much to pay attention to.”

Yang Yingying said oh, but showed a look of disbelief: "There are always separations, right?"

"That's human nature, and it's natural. But so far, everyone has been able to maintain the bottom line, that is, everything is based on the interests of Yuanxin." Su Yuanshan glanced at Jiang Qingchuan as he spoke, and then said: "And I don't deny it either. , some senior executives do have the intention of cultivating successors, for example, the separation of closeness and distance you mentioned is reflected here. After all, people are not machines... they always have emotions. "

"But everyone has started their own business all the way, and we know that the most important thing in cultivating successors is ability and vision. And people with ability and vision...will definitely have the expression of their own will. Therefore, at Yuanxin, and our own It is very common for leaders to argue and not stand together without principle, and this is what we are happy to see."

Yang Yingying pursed her lips, thought about it seriously and hesitated for a few seconds...

Su Yuanshan was happy when he saw this: "Sister-in-law, if you have any questions, just ask."

Yang Yingying coughed lightly and laughed sheepishly: "I'm afraid you'll think I'm a bit stupid if I ask."

Su Yuanshan and Jiang Qingchuan looked at each other and laughed again.

Jiang Qingchuan ignored Su Yuanshan's presence, put his arm around his wife's shoulders, and shook his head with a smile: "You make it sound like you are smart without asking."

Yang Yingying: "..."

After glaring at her husband gently, she twisted Jiang Qingchuan's waist without leaving any trace.

"Brother, if you slander your sister-in-law like this, aren't you afraid of being beaten later?" Su Yuanshan looked relieved when he saw the two of them flirting.

The two people opposite them coughed.

Yang Yingying straightened up and asked: "Then... doesn't it mean we need to unify our thoughts? Won't this conflict between you be intensified?"

"Unification of thought depends on what kind of thought it is, whether it is an individual thought or a collective will." Su Yuanshan looked at Yang Yingying with a smile and replied seriously: "At present, many domestic enterprises, especially self-employed and contracted households in the 1980s and 1990s, have gone all the way. Those private enterprises that came over inevitably bear the imprint of their founders and business leaders, and they also carry out family management."

Yang Yingying hummed softly.

“This management model, when opportunities come, its development direction conforms to the historical trend, and when it enters a period of rapid development, there is no problem. In other words, the rapid development of an enterprise can cover up many of its own problems or even all of its problems. …Because the most important thing for a company is profit and development.”

"But when a company enters a stable period from a period of rapid expansion, the shortcomings of this kind of family history management will be exposed. Because a person cannot always be glorious, great and correct. And once the company goes in the wrong direction, what will happen if the core managers appear? The problem...that would be catastrophic for the business.”

"A company of Yuanxin's size cannot be left to one person. Even if that person is me, it won't work. Otherwise, why would Mr. Chen, Mr. Duan, and Mr. Xi, the proud ones, listen to me? Hoi An Are you willing to take root in Yuanxin with peace of mind? Is it for money? Yuanxin currently has no plans to go public. And everyone agrees that Yuanxin is getting further and further away from being listed."

Seeing that Yang Yingying listened seriously, Jiang Qingchuan smiled and summed up for his wife: "Respect, in fact, behind the disagreement is respect, and there is also the delegation of power."

"Senior brother is right." Su Yuanshan nodded with a smile, and then looked at Yang Yingying thoughtfully: "Sister-in-law, do you have different opinions on Dingxin affairs, especially personnel matters...?"

Yang Yingying was startled for a moment, smiled sheepishly, nodded, and then shook her head.

Su Yuanshan understood immediately.

Although he didn't have time to read An Siying's report - and he probably couldn't tell from the report these things that could only be experienced personally, he believed that An Siying's airborne landing must have brought a very strong telecore imprinted.

She has been Yuanxin’s secretary-general for more than ten years! Moreover, the chairman of Yuanxin is in charge of administration and human resources... In other words, An Siying has never seen such big storms?

But Yang Yingying is different.

Dingxin Media has been self-employed since its establishment. Everything is decided by the boss Zhang Jianjun. Those senior executives... including senior executives poached from other media companies... to put it bluntly, it is a media company in HK. , one by one, who dares to pat his chest and say that he is an enterprise with modern management?

It is precisely because of this that what happened in Dingxin Media was that "what goes up is effective, what is good is reported down" happened, so that the three giants of Yuanxin were furious and parachuted a senior executive down.

And Yang Yingying's last shake of the head naturally meant that she understood.

"At first, I thought... Dingxin has been a bit chaotic in the past six months. Especially after Mr. An re-adjusted the management and hired senior executives from outside, this feeling became obvious. But now that I hear what you say, I feel …”

At this time, Jiang Qingchuan intervened and asked: "Don't look at the chaos in meetings, just look at the business. How is Dingxin's business now?"

Yang Yingying was startled for a moment, then realized.

Dingxin's business is naturally good.

In the past six months, since An Siying's parachute landing, in addition to the thunderous measures to adjust personnel relations in the first two months, many endorsements have been stopped and adjusted, and the arrangements of some female stars involved have been adjusted. In the past four months, , she no longer made adjustments to the company's personnel and artists, but focused all her attention on business expansion.

But although An Siying holds a high position in Yuanxin and has won the trust of several bosses... she is not in the media after all.

So, in order to master the media business as quickly as possible, naturally it is not for her, an outsider, to lead the expert, but for the expert to start the "quarrel" first.

Listening to Yang Yingying's analysis, Su Yuanshan couldn't help but nodded.

"An An knew you were coming, so she rushed a report to you overnight." Yang Yingying stood up, took out a document from the handbag on the coat rack and handed it to Su Yuanshan.

Su Yuanshan looked down and saw the title "Using Internet Traffic to Create a New Cultural and Entertainment Ecological Environment."

When he saw the title, Su Yuanshan did not open it immediately. Instead, he laughed and joked: "I thought you were going to give it to me from the beginning."

"I want to chat with you first." Yang Yingying pursed her lips and smiled, then asked doubtfully: "Xiaoshan, you said... will the Internet really completely subvert the previous model of artist training and debut?"

"Well... I'm referring to our previous model of releasing records and holding concerts."

Su Yuanshan looked at Yang Yingying's doubts and a touch of sadness in her eyes, smiled and nodded slowly.
