Chapter 663

Almost overnight.

Chinese mathematicians have become the existence of sweet and sweet in the market.

It's not just New Advances in Mathematics.

The remaining three top journals have moved on to recruit internationally renowned mathematicians.

After all.

It's a trade-off process.

If you recruit one more, others will recruit one less.

As a result, no journal would condone the unbridled actions of others.

This is not the time to sit on the sidelines.

Even the existence of the "Annals of Mathematics", which firmly occupies the top spot of the four major journals, has formulated a detailed recruitment plan at the first time.

The entire mathematical community became unpredictable in an instant.

............

Huaguo, Yanda.

Knock knock~~

There was a knock on the door of Gu Lu's office.

Zhang Wei pushed the door in with a stack of papers.

"This is the result of this phase of our group's research, and I'm here for you. Zhang Wei placed the stack of papers on Gu Lu's almost full table and clapped his hands.

"Senior Brother Zhang, I'm in trouble. Gu Lu finished writing the last line of formula on the scratch paper, looked up and smiled.

Then, Gu Lu poured Zhang Wei a glass of water, and the two went to the sofa on one side to sit down.

"Senior Brother Zhang, why did you come here in person this time?" asked Gu Lu with a smile.

As a rule.

For such a trivial matter as sending documents and materials, it should be enough to let any person come over, and there is no need for Zhang Wei, the team leader, to come over in person.

"I happened to be fine, so I sent it by the way. Zhang Wei explained with a smile, "In addition, there is something I want to talk to you about." ”

"Huh?" Gu Lu stopped drinking water, "Senior brother, what's the matter?"

Gu Lu was worried about whether Zhang Wei had encountered any difficulties in the research of the subject.

"Don't worry, it's not a matter of the research group, at present, the work we are responsible for is going very well. Zhang Wei knew what Gu Lu was worried about, so he waved his hand to dispel Gu Lu's worries.

Zhang Wei opened his mouth and said, "Here's the thing, in the past few days, the four major journals have suddenly started to contact me and say that they invite me to work as a reviewer in their magazine. ”

Gu Lu nodded and said clearly, "So that's the case." ”

Bao Songquan had anticipated this kind of scene for a long time.

It's just that Gu Lu didn't expect the four major journals to react so quickly.

It's only been a few days?

It has only been less than a day since "New Advances in Mathematics" officially admitted to signing a reviewer employment contract with itself.

In less than a day, Zhang Wei received olive branches from four major journals.

That's enough to tell.

Although the sudden tearing up of the contract of "New Advances in Mathematics" caught everyone by surprise, the response of the other three journals was fast enough.

But......

Another important factor that caused the four major journals to throw an olive branch to Zhang Wei in such a hurry is that Zhang Wei's own conditions are indeed excellent enough.

Zhang Wei is one of the top mathematicians, and he is not too old, although he is not as attractive as Gu Lu, but among Chinese mathematicians, he is still one of the most famous.

Zhang Wei looked at Gu Lu with a hint of gratitude in his eyes, "Gu Lu, this matter is still thanks to you, if it weren't for your reasons that caused "New Advances in Mathematics" to take the lead in tearing up the contract, we Chinese mathematicians may not have the opportunity to join the four major journals in our lifetime." ”

Gu Lu smiled bitterly and didn't explain too much.

Gu Lu opened his mouth and asked, "Senior Brother Zhang, have you decided, which journal are you going to?"

Since the four major journals have all thrown olive branches to Zhang Wei, the right to choose is naturally in Zhang Wei's hands.

"Annals of Mathematics, it is estimated that it will be more convenient to submit papers in the future. Zhang Wei pondered for a few seconds and replied.

Apparently.

When the four major journals are competing on the same stage, the existence of "Annals of Mathematics", which is firmly in the top spot, still has the advantage.

"Then congratulations in advance to Senior Brother Zhang for becoming a reviewer of the Annals of Mathematics. Gu Lu congratulated.

"What do I have to congratulate here, it's just that I picked up a bargain behind you, Senior Brother Gu. Zhang Wei waved his hand, shook his head and smiled, "On the contrary, it was you, Senior Brother Gu, why didn't you choose to cooperate with the Annals of Mathematics at that time?"

Zhang Wei was a little confused, Princeton University was Gu Lu's alma mater.

It stands to reason that Gu Lu should have a very good relationship with the Annals of Mathematics.

But what about the facts?

Gu Lu has always been entangled with "New Advances in Mathematics".

On the contrary, it maintains a relationship with the "Annals of Mathematics", which is not estranged or close.

Gu Lu shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Uh...... Anyway, our "Annals of Mathematics" is a little subtle, and the leaders of Princeton University's School of Mathematics seem to be very unkind to see me, so I will let them be out of sight and out of mind, and try not to get too entangled with them. ”

Zhang Wei was puzzled for a moment, and there was a lot of confusion in his heart, but seeing that Gu Lu didn't mean to continue, he didn't continue to ask.

"By the way, Senior Brother Gu, let me briefly tell you about the research content of our group during this time, so that you will be more relaxed when you are in these documents. Zhang Wei asked.

"Well, you say. Gu Lu took a sip of water from the glass and motioned to Zhang Wei.

Half an hour later.

Zhang Wei finished the research at this stage with a dry mouth.

“...... These are the results of our group so far. Zhang Wei drank all the water in the cup in one go.

Gu Lu patted Zhang Wei on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Senior Brother Zhang, you've done a good job, the progress of your research here is faster than I expected, so that I can leave with peace of mind." ”

Zhang Wei keenly grasped the key in Gu Lu's words, "Leave, Senior Brother Gu, where are you going?"

Gu Lu patted his head and said suddenly, "I almost fainted from my busyness, and I even forgot to inform you of this important matter." ”

"Senior Brother Zhang, you go back immediately and call Simon and Alec, as well as the other three deputy team leaders, I have an important matter to announce. Gu Lu quickly commanded.

"Yes!" Although his heart was full of doubts, Zhang Wei still nodded, and called the rest of the people according to what Gu Lu said.

............

Ten minutes later.

Several people, including Simon Zhang Wei, all came to Gu Lu's office.

was called over by Gu Lu in the midst of his busy schedule, and everyone was a little confused.

But......

After receiving the news, several people rushed over as soon as possible.

After all.

Gu Lu said that there was something important, so there must be something important to announce.

Inside the office.

Gu Lu moved over a few chairs and asked a few people to sit down casually.

This is the second meeting of the core members of the research group.

But this meeting is related to Gu Lu personally.

"I know you're short on time, so I'll cut you short and tell you why I'm calling you here at this time. ”
