I Am the President of the University

Chapter 406: Start a Chinese journal by yourself?

"Hey, Mr. Chen, I'm Mandel from "Nature". "

The other party smiled and then greeted politely, "It has been almost 2 years since our last meeting. How is Professor Stephen's health?"

"Hello, Mr. Mandel, thank you for your concern for the teacher. The teacher is in good health." As a student of Daniu, Chen Hao has also participated in many international academic conferences with his tutor. For the editor-in-chief of the main issue of "Nature" We've met a few times, but we haven't had any in-depth exchanges.

After a brief polite exchange, Mandel couldn't help but said: "Well, I didn't expect Mr. Chen to make such a big move after returning to China. To use your Chinese idiom, this is called accumulation and success!"

"Thank you for your compliment. If you have anything to say, please tell me." Chen Hao didn't like to chat with men, especially old men, so he made it clear.

The other party was quiet for a few seconds, and then Mandel asked tentatively: "Mr. Chen, I would like to know how your research on optical cores is going?"

It seemed that this sentence was a bit ridiculous, and Mandel then smiled bitterly.

"I'm sorry, I feel like I asked a nonsense question, but I really want to know about the optical core."

Chen Hao also smiled softly, "Since Mr. Mandel already has the answer in his mind, why do you still have to do this useless work?"

"I am not in a position to reveal the progress of optical cores, but I can tell you clearly that our Guanghua University not only has the ability to break through optical core technology, but is also expected to achieve mass production of chips in the first half of next year!"

Listening to Chen Hao's confident words, Mandel's face lit up. Based on his understanding of the distinguished Professor Stephen from MIT, he was not a big talker.

What kind of teachers teach what kind of students.

He doesn't know much about Chen Hao, but he believes in Professor Stephen!

Mandel looked stern, organized his words, and then said:

"Mr. Chen, I am here to request articles from your organization on behalf of "Nature" magazine, and I can guarantee that as long as the optical core article is published, there will be no problem, even the cover article will be no problem."

"Oh, really?" Chen Hao's face was dull. If it were anyone else, he would have jumped up on the spot. After all, this is the journal "Nature"!

Chen Hao raised the corner of his mouth slightly and replied jokingly: "Mr. Mandel, don't you think you can give us these Science? And compared to your journal, the editor of Science, Owen, is a good friend of our Guanghua University."

Want to publish in another journal of Optical Core?

How can this work!

The journal "Science" is a good friend of our Guanghua University.

You have to add money!

Mandel's eyelids twitched, but fortunately he was prepared in advance and said calmly and seriously: "I believe that our "Nature" can also partner with Guanghuawei, and it will be among the top ten scientific figures of the year published next month. , Principal Chen, you will be ranked first!”

Every year, the journal "Nature" ranks scholars who have had a significant impact on the scientific community that year. Although they are said to be parallel, the importance will still be affected according to the order.

For example, in 2018, the top ten names of "Nature" were Chen Hao's senior, Cao Yuan, who "discovered that when two layers of parallel graphene are stacked at a subtle angle of about 1.1°, a magical superconducting effect will occur." The first of the great scientific figures!

Senior Cao Yuan is a workaholic. Every time Chen Hao enters his office, it is in a mess. The table is filled with parts for computers and homemade telescopes.

Because some experiments require computer assistance, and Chen Hao is the most proud disciple of MIT's powerful professor Stephen, and they are both Chinese, the two have become quite familiar with each other over time.

Thinking of the legendary senior who was still at MIT, Chen Hao couldn't help but shake his head.

Because he refused the naturalization invitation from the United States Immigration Bureau, even though he is researching graphene and not in the military or aerospace fields, his life has been said to be uneasy recently.

On the other hand, when Mandel thought of his old enemy "Science", he gritted his teeth, hesitated a little, and then said fiercely:

"Mr. Chen, if you guarantee that Guangxin's paper will be published in Nature, as a friend of Guanghua, you are also obliged to help Guanghua increase its international influence."

Then, Mandel showed his trump card!

"We at Nature can sign a cooperation agreement with your school and hold the [2020 Nature China Forum] at Guanghua University in late December this year!"

"As the organizer, we will invite top international scientists in the fields of materials, chemistry, and physics to Ludao, China, to discuss cutting-edge issues in the field of materials and models to promote the advancement of scientific research in China."

Finally, Mandel couldn't help but remind: "Mr. Chen, you should know how important it is to Guanghua University to host a major high-level international conference."

In order to win over Chen Hao, he showed off his cards!

If this idea comes to fruition, this will be the first high-level academic conference held jointly by Nature magazine and a Chinese research institution!

Such a high-level academic conference was held at Guanghua University, and even a blind person would know how influential it is.

Chen Hao remained silent, closed his eyes and fell into deep thought.

He admitted that he was moved!

In addition to the places Mandel just mentioned, he also saw a great opportunity.

By exposing Guanghua University to the international academic community, and having Chinese and foreign scientists give speeches on stage, we may be able to recruit several top international scientists to become professors in Guanghua, even as honorary professors!

Chen Hao replied in a regretful tone: "I'm sorry, Mr. Mandel, although your proposal is indeed very tempting, but I am a person who puts friendship first, and my answer is NO."

"WHAT?"

Mandel had a question mark on his face. God couldn't help it. Isn't this weight enough?

Don't talk about friendship!

There is no friendship that cannot be sold, unless the price is not right!

He suppressed the anger in his heart and asked in a deep voice: "Mr. Chen, I very much hope that we can cooperate. If there are any difficulties, you can tell me."

Chen Hao smiled softly and expressed his thoughts.

…

ten minutes later.

After hanging up the phone, Chen Hao rolled down the car window without starting the car, just staring at the sunset appearing on the horizon.

"Mr. Mandel, I'm very sorry. I hope you can understand my difficulties next year." Chen Hao sighed unbearably.

In the end, Chen Hao agreed to the other party's request. If the optical core article is published in "Science" and "Nature", the latter will be "preferred".

After all, among the top journals in the field of materials, Nature and Science are the top journals, and there is no choice other than these two.

This is why Mandel reluctantly agreed.

But Mandel did not expect that Chen Hao had already made a plan.

That is Guanghua University setting up a Chinese journal.

There is no way, the journal is too deep and there are many tricks.

Although he cannot be absolutely fair, he can only guarantee relative fairness.

After the breakthrough of optical core technology, the blockbuster article will be published in the first issue of Guanghua University’s journal!

With the existence of Optical Core, the influence of opening this Chinese journal will definitely not be a problem.

Mandel was fooled by Chen Hao's word game this time.

The car starts.

Chen Hao in the car frowned a little.

With the help of optical core, "Nature" will continue to contribute to Guanghua.

Then when Guanghua University had its own journal, the article was not published in Nature, and it kicked the opponent away and started playing on its own.

Chen Hao twitched the corner of his mouth and coughed several times.

"Why do you feel like you are acting like a scumbag??"
