Reborn Brazil as a Plutocrat

Without an academic atmosphere and faculty, what do you have?

If you have money and power, as long as these two powers can be used well, the academic atmosphere can be cultivated, and the teaching staff can be invested with money, if you don't believe it, you can't make this school famous quickly.

Throwing money is very simple, but it is also very skillful. At this time, Fang Lang had a plan in his mind that slowly began to take shape. The more he thought about it, the more he thought it was a good idea.

The corners of his mouth began to tilt up involuntarily.

Fang Xinshan quickly noticed the change in Fang Lang's expression and quickly said:

"Why, have you thought of any good solution?"

Hearing this, Fang Lang looked up at his father and old man, nodded slightly and said:

"Well! I have an idea. However, it may require a huge amount of funds and continuous investment."

The old man doesn't seem to care about money. Now the Fang family is not short of money at all. Moreover, in the old man's heart, money is not important, but education is, especially Chinese education.

As the head of the Fangyuan Group, Fang Xinshan is very familiar with his family's financial situation. If the Fang family now says that it is the second largest consortium in Brazil, absolutely no one will dare to stand up and say that it is the largest consortium.

The Brazilian Development Bank is blooming all over Brazil, building branches everywhere, and the amount of deposits in the bank is scary. Even if these deposits are not counted, the treasures Fang Lang got back from outside are worth a lot of money.

Although the Fang family has spent a lot of money investing everywhere, Brazil's economy is developing rapidly, and many companies have begun to make profits, and they are all high value-added industries. The profits are also very huge, and they are not afraid of consumption at all.

He knew that although a lot of funds might be invested in the European aid plan that Fang Lang participated in, most of these funds were funds from banks and were not his own capital.

Therefore, he didn't care much about what Fang Lang said about investing a large amount of money. He also believed that the money invested would definitely get a greater return.

With such confidence, he did not panic at all and said in a calm tone:

"Tell me, what plan makes you think it will cost a lot of money."

The old man also looked at Fang Lang expectantly.

Fang Lang was not polite when he saw this, and told all his inner thoughts. The old man and Fang Xinshan were dumbfounded, and secretly smacked their lips. No wonder it cost a lot of money. This is simply an act of spreading money everywhere!

With their knowledge, they were not able to understand the significance of this for a while. However, they also had an unclear feeling.

Out of Fang Lang's trust, the two of them did not raise any objections, but chose to give their full support without hesitation.

Early the next morning, his younger brother Fang Tao took the earliest flight back home from Rio de Janeiro. Before he could even take a sip of water, he was pulled to the tea room by Fang Lang.

The old man and his father did not participate in the conversation between the brothers. Since Fang Lang has already made a plan, they only need to choose to fully support it, and there is no need to worry too much.

"Brother, did you call me back in such a hurry? Did something big happen?"

Fang Tao, who was tired of life, looked at his brother with a puzzled face.

Fang Lang handed over a cup of tea, indicating to the other party to chat while drinking, and then slowly said:

"I'm going to give you a task. Next, you have to hand over other tasks to others and concentrate on this task."

Hearing his brother's gentle but firm words, Fang Tao was slightly startled, picked up the teacup, drank it in one gulp, and said without hesitation:

"If anything happens, brother, just tell me, and I will do my best."

Fang Tao's attitude made Fang Lang very satisfied. He nodded and continued to serve the other party with tea:

"Have you ever heard of what an academic journal is?"

Although I don’t know why my brother mentioned this relatively unfamiliar field, as a practitioner in the media industry, I still have some general understanding of these aspects. It seems to be a place where some experts and scholars publish their latest research results.

Hearing this, he nodded and said:

"I've probably heard of it, but I don't know much about it."

After saying that, he looked at Fang Lang and waited patiently for what was to come. He had some vague guesses in his mind. It seemed that his brother had some new ideas!

"What about those academic journals that you have heard of?"

After thinking for a while, Fang Tao said uncertainly:

""Nature," Cell, "Science, and what else I'm not sure about. If you want to know, I can have someone check it out."

Fang Lang shook his head and said no, seeing that although he didn't know the other party particularly well, he didn't know anything about it either, so he nodded with satisfaction and said:

"Get ready, organize an acquisition team from the company, go to the UK, the United States, and Switzerland to establish three magazines controlled by our Fangyuan Group.

The size of the magazine does not need to be very large. It is best for this magazine to be affiliated with a relatively famous local school. On the premise of ensuring that we have absolute controlling rights, it is best to be covered with a layer of local capital.

Then, I will provide a list of journals, and you will be responsible for starting the acquisition plan in the name of these magazines. It is best not to come forward personally when acquiring, we must do our best to keep a low profile.

Don’t let outsiders find out that we are behind the scenes, do you understand what I mean?”

Fang Tao looked at Fang Lang inexplicably. Although he understood what his mission was, he didn't understand why he did it. He didn't need to be polite to his brother, and said bluntly:

"I understand what you mean, but why?"

Fang Lang sighed softly and said:

"Because we are Chinese, although these academic journals are inconspicuous, they have a pivotal position in the academic world. The Western world will never allow such an important field to be controlled by us Chinese."

As soon as he said this, Fang Tao could not understand what his brother meant. He thought for a moment and said:

"Then I will acquire a magazine in the United States in the name of Mr. Anderson, and then, brother, see if I can acquire a magazine in the UK and Switzerland in the names of my two sisters-in-law.

On the surface, it seems that the magazine has little to do with the Chinese."

Fang Lang only thought briefly before agreeing with Fang Tao's opinion and acting as these people. Although a thoughtful person can find the connection, it has nothing to do with Fangyuan Group on the surface.

"Okay, just follow the idea you said.

After you complete the acquisition of these journals, we will quickly distribute the journals globally simultaneously to further expand the journal's influence in the academic world.

Then, we need to establish a paper database, count the frequency of citations of papers, and conduct multi-faceted evaluation research on academic journals and scientific research results, so as to judge the scientific research output performance of a country or region, scientific research units, and individuals to reflect

His academic level in the world.

Finally, we must regularly publish all papers included in our database and the cited data to the public.

This will be your main job for some time to come. How about it? Can you do it?"

Fang Tao looked at Fang Lang inexplicably and said in confusion:

"Can this make money?"

He glared at his brother fiercely and cursed:

"Is this a matter of money? You are studying journalism, don't you understand the benefits of this?

This is influence, you know? The influence of academia."

"I understand this, but why do we do this? We can't blatantly tell others that these magazines are controlled by us. Even if they are influential, we can't monetize them?"

Looking at Fang Tao, who still had a puzzled expression, Fang Lang didn't get angry anymore, but smiled and said:

"Who said it can't be monetized? Our mastery of these academic journals means that we can understand the development direction of science and technology and the results achieved at the first time.

Then, we can invest in these directions. Once we grasp this opportunity, our family will always be at the forefront of science and technology and will always be invincible.

Of course, these are things for the future.

In the short term, I want to discover outstanding talents in the academic world through these journals, recruit them to our own school, and cultivate our own talents for us."

At this moment, Fang Tao was dumbfounded to understand Fang Lang's true intention. For a moment, he didn't know how to react. He wanted to sigh that he was cunning and clever, but he was afraid that he would be beaten up by his brother.

I could only swallow hard and said:

"Brother! I just realized now that you are really powerful. You can think of such a train of thought. I can't help but admire you.

No problem, leave this matter to me, I will start organizing manpower immediately and implement it according to your plan."

Seeing Fang Tao's performance, Fang Lang just smiled slightly, with a calm look, but he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. It was thanks to the lack of teachers in the school that he allowed his mind to wander and came up with this plan.

In fact, this is not his main method to solve the shortage of teachers in the school, but a plan to become an invisible academic power when he was looking for a way to solve the problem of teachers.

And all he did was just a trick that would be used by others in the future. Think about the important impact of the c impact factor on teachers’ professional titles in future generations.

If an ordinary teacher wants to be awarded the title of professor without a few influential papers in academic journals, it is simply a fantasy.

As long as the school's postgraduate students graduate with a Ph.D. and have a paper that can be published in an important journal and obtain a high C impact factor, it will be basically safe.

There are even cases where teachers secretly replace the first author of a student's paper with themselves for their own benefit.

This kind of thing is very common in the medical field. If a doctor can publish a few papers in The Lancet, he will have a natural advantage in terms of professional title evaluation, or obtaining establishment.

Even if a scientist who wants to win a Nobel Prize does not publish a few academic papers of his own in top journals, who will know about your achievements and breakthroughs in related fields?

Therefore, relevant academic journals are basically a stage for scientists, and Fang Lang's purpose is to build and control this stage in the form of capital.

Not to mention academic manipulation, at least there will no longer be colored glasses against Chinese scholars’ papers.

He has never thought about manipulating academics, using his own means to make certain people's papers easily published, or to have certain people's papers rejected. On the contrary, he wants to be truly fair and ensure that these papers are under his control.

Academic journals have greater influence.

Let all scholars around the world be proud to publish their papers on it.

And, as he and Fang Tao said, there are often unlimited business opportunities in these papers. The higher the c impact factor of scientists’ latest research results, the more it represents the future of related fields.

If Fangyuan Group can really grasp this context, then in the future, regardless of whether Fang Lang is still alive or whether he still has memories of his previous life, their family will not be eliminated by the times and will continue to prosper.

This can be regarded as a broad road he has paved for the future of his family.
