I Am the President of the University

Chapter 489 Closing Ceremony

…

Ludao International Conference Center.

Poster posting area.

"Clothes that can automatically adjust the temperature?"

Chen Hao was stunned for a moment when he saw the title of the paper on the poster. \b

The stall owner was a blond and blue-eyed guy who seemed to recognize Chen Hao and excitedly introduced his scientific research project in front of Chen Hao.

ten minutes later.

Chen Hao really couldn't listen anymore, interrupted the other party, and asked impatiently:

"Which school are you from?"

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

"Real or negative?"

"Deputy..." the other party replied nonchalantly.

Chen Hao remained silent, but used the Academic Eye skill on the other party.

When I saw the success rate showing 5%, a trace of disappointment flashed in my eyes.

He had just heard that the other person was from Columbia University, and he had a sense of hope. After all, even if he is an associate professor, he has a lifelong teaching position, which is not something ordinary people can get.

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

excuse me!

Unexpectedly, Brother University also has parallel imports...

Chen Hao twitched the corner of his mouth, turned around and left.

The other party was still unwilling and shouted at Chen Hao's back.

"Just invest 100 million US dollars, and once successful, you will gain a market of 10 billion US dollars!"

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

The voice behind was still shouting.

"It doesn't have to be 100 million US dollars, just 80 million US dollars!"

"Fifty million dollars!"

"Two...ten million dollars is enough!"

I picked up the opportunity of lithium-air batteries from Professor Bunier. I originally wanted to visit the poster 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 branch meeting, they are all selected by both Guanghua University and Nature magazine, so they are naturally very rigorous.

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

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

Chen Hao was not in the mood to continue shopping. In the afternoon, he listened to several special lectures that he was interested in. In the evening, he continued to attend the dinner party in an attempt to recruit some big names to Guanghua University.

I definitely didn't find anything, but in the past two days, I have made an appointment with about 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 official business in the principal's office, received a call from Cao Lihao.

"okay, I get it."

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

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

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

The result of the investigation that I asked the other party to be investigated also came out, and I thought of what Cao Lihao said on the phone just now.

Chen Hao couldn't help but have a strange look on his face. \b

"Penn science geek?"

This is Professor Bunier's nickname at Penn Park. The reason why he got this unique title is naturally due to some of his past behaviors.

On the contrary, his character and reputation are not bad.

With Cao Lihao's words, he can safely use Bunir.

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

It was almost over the Pacific Ocean now.

"I don't know if I'm crazy or not, 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, took the stage.

The electronic screen behind him also changed.

[How to publish an article in a high-impact molecular journal]

【Chaplin Mandel】

[Editor-in-chief of Nature magazine, Ph.D. from Oxford University]

【December 2020】

This China Forum is jointly sponsored by Guanghua University and Nature magazine. Especially for experts and scholars from outside China, Nature is doing its best to invite them. Forget about thematic reports, of course, the special reports must reciprocate. The other party advertises once.

The content of the talk is mainly about some skills and experiences in the formatting and submission of papers.

There were many people attending this special report in Nature magazine, but most of them were graduate students or young scholars.

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

If you have a "Nature" paper in hand, at least when you return to China, as long as you are not one of the top 985 schools, you can enter any other school with lower requirements, or even directly give it to a full professor.

Half an hour later, we were on our way to get some food.

Editor-in-chief Mandel and Chen Hao are co-authors.

"President Chen, as China's scientific research strength continues to rise, the number of papers published by Chinese scholars in Nature every year is on the rise."

Mandel paused here and said to Chen Hao very sincerely: "We at Nature attach great importance to China, and we very much hope to continue to strengthen our cooperative relationship with your school."

As for how to strengthen it?

Of course it is submitted.

Chen Hao glanced at the other party and said jokingly: "We Guanghua may start a Chinese journal in the future. Wouldn't it conflict with you then?"

"of course not."

Mandel forced a smile on his face, "It will be difficult for Guanghua to set up a journal, but with Principal Chen's strength, I believe there will be no problem. However, incorporating a journal is not that simple. If Principal Chen really has this idea, go to At that time, our Nature Publishing Group can cooperate with Guanghua and use our distribution channels to distribute. ”

Chen Hao looked a little surprised and couldn't help but ask: "Editor-in-Chief Mandel, are you sure you're not joking?"

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

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

"Of course I'm not kidding. We have some internal speculation about Principal Chen's idea."

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

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

Why does Guanghua still provide assistance to the journal Nature?

Guanghua University is different from its old rival Science.

The former is a university and the latter is a peer!

No matter how Guanghua University operates journals, Guanghua University students still need to publish in journals. Even if they are not published in their own journals, they can still 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.

In this case, it would be better to make good friends with Guanghua University and work on the "Science" magazine together!

"interesting."

Chen Hao thought about it for a moment, and his smile became brighter after thinking clearly.

It seems that running a Chinese journal is much easier than I thought. What I need to consider in the future is how to solve the content problem. Otherwise, with the help of Nature, even if the publishing, distribution and other issues are solved, I will be defeated by the content.

After walking for a while, we came to the restaurant. During the meal, Chen Hao kept learning from Mandel.

…

1:50 p.m.

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