Chapter 651

Does Macron's editor-in-chief have that courage?

Absolutely!

In recent years, the rise of the Chinese mathematics community has become unstoppable.

However, the restrictions on reviewers have not caused too many constraints on the Chinese mathematical community.

Because these four major journals do not allow Chinese mathematicians to serve as reviewers at most, it is impossible to hurt a thousand enemies, and they choose not to include the papers of Chinese mathematicians.

That's why.

Whether or not Chinese mathematicians serve as reviewers for the four major journals has become a harmless matter.

Thereupon.

Editor-in-chief Macron seized this opportunity and chose to appoint Gu Lu as a reviewer of New Advances in Mathematics to prepare for closer cooperation in the future.

And the top management of the magazine also understands this truth, so they turn a blind eye to the behavior of Macron's editor-in-chief and choose to acquiesce.

The existence of Gu Lu is, of course, the existence that all academic journals compete for.

At this time.

Of course, the sooner you make a move, the easier it will be to seize the opportunity.

Therefore.

Regarding Gu Lu's appointment as a reviewer of "New Advances in Mathematics", of course, there is no problem on the magazine's side.

But the key is Gu Lu's side......

Gu Lu hesitated for a moment, then typed and replied, "Editor-in-Chief Macron, you should know that I have been busy with new topics recently, and I should not be able to find time to serve as a reviewer of your journal and review papers, so can we wait until the end of my research on this side to discuss this matter." ”

Wait for Gu Lu's research to finish.

This will have to wait until the Year of the Monkey!

The editor-in-chief of Macron knows the difficulty of the topic that Gu Lu is currently studying, and he understands that the topic will definitely not be able to be solved if there is not enough time.

And Macron's editor-in-chief can't wait that long.

He was quite anxious to confirm the relationship with Gu Lu.

Otherwise.

After waiting for a few years, Gu Lu's fragrant gluttony will be snatched away by others.

In terms of strength and heritage, the remaining three of the four major journals in mathematics are no worse than "New Advances in Mathematics".

Especially the super-jumbo of the Annals of Mathematics.

Compared to it, "New Advances in Mathematics" does not have any advantage at all.

Not to mention.

Macron's editor-in-chief knows that Gu Lu's alma mater is Princeton University, where the headquarters of the Annals of Mathematics is located.

As a result, Macron's editor-in-chief knows that this matter cannot be delayed.

After a few seconds of silence, the editor-in-chief of Macron gritted his teeth fiercely and made a rather bold decision, "Professor Gu, we can do this." ”

"We can sign a contract first, but we won't assign you the task of reviewing the paper for the time being, you just need to put a name on our magazine, and of course, we will still pay you the salary during this period. ”

This condition prescribed by Macron's editor-in-chief is really too superior.

Not only is there no need to work, but wages are also paid for nothing.

It's just lying down to make money!

"Editor-in-chief Macron, like this...... It's not appropriate. Gu Lu looked embarrassed.

For prostitution wages, Gu Lu still felt very embarrassed.

And Macron's editor-in-chief's reply was very generous, "What's inappropriate, I think this arrangement couldn't be better." The review work of our journal is not too busy, and it just so happens that Professor Gu is busy with the research group, so you can just review the manuscript differently for the time being, which is not the best of both worlds. ”

"When you are free, Professor Gu, it's not bad to take some time to review the manuscript and pass the boring time. ”

Macron's editor-in-chief has a very humble attitude.

Gu Lu sweated a little when he saw this.

Since the journal's review work is not very busy, why do you have to sign me as a reviewer?

Gu Lu pulled the corners of his mouth helplessly.

"When will the contract be signed?" replied Gu Lu.

Seeing this sentence from Gu Lu, Macron's editor-in-chief was instantly overjoyed.

Finally......

Under his own continuous strategy, he finally took down Gu Lu.

"Of course, the sooner the better!" Macron's editor-in-chief replied immediately.

Late will change!

Although the editor-in-chief of Macron is not Chinese, he still understands this truth.

"However, I am in China, so I should not have time to fly to Germany to sign a contract. Gu Lu hesitated.

"It's okay, I'll buy a ticket to China right now and rush over with the contract. "Macron's editor-in-chief expressed enthusiasm for this matter.

But it's also.

Compared with the signing of Gu Lu, it is obviously worth flying thousands of miles to China.

…………

Macron's editor-in-chief's efficiency is indeed quite crisp.

After finishing the chat with Gu Lu, the editor-in-chief Macron called his assistant to arrange the review of Biqi's paper, and instructed him to publish the review results as soon as possible.

After arranging this matter, the editor-in-chief of Macron drove straight to the airport, took the nearest plane, and went straight to China.

That evening, Macron's editor-in-chief arrived in China.

Due to the unfamiliarity of life and the language barrier.

Macron's editor-in-chief tossed for a while before finding a hotel to stay in.

Next.

Macron's editor-in-chief didn't even adjust to the jet lag, so he hurried to Yanda.

In the office of the Yan University School Building, Gu Lu met the editor-in-chief of Macron, who came in the dust.

Since it had been discussed on the email yesterday, Gu Lu simply signed his name on the contract.

"Professor Gu, happy cooperation!"

"Editor-in-chief Macron, happy cooperation!"

Two big hands, clasped tightly together.

"Editor-in-chief Macron, do you want to stay for a meal and try our authentic Chinese cuisine?" Gu Lu said politely with a smile.

The editor-in-chief of Macron waved his hand and politely refused, "No need, the next issue of "New Advances in Mathematics" will be published soon, and there are still many things that I need to keep an eye on at the magazine. ”

As the editor-in-chief of New Advances in Mathematics, Macron's work is of course quite busy.

And even such a busy man still took the time to fly thousands of miles to China to sign a contract with Gu Lu, which is enough to show that the editor-in-chief of Macron attaches great importance to Gu Lu.

Gu Lu's polite words did not stay.

Macron's editor-in-chief is busy, but Gu Lu is also not easy.

The research group still has a lot of things to deal with by themselves.

"Okay, then I'll go. The editor-in-chief of Macron took the contract and waved his hand to Gu Lu, interrupting and leaving directly for the airport.

And at this time, the mobile phone of Macron's editor-in-chief rang.

Macron's editor-in-chief pressed the answer button.

"Well, well, that's right,...... Okay, okay, I got it. I've taken care of my side of things, and I'll be back right away. ”

After hanging up the phone, Macron's editor-in-chief looked at Gu Lu.

Gu Lu was puzzled, "Editor-in-chief Macron, is there anything else?"

The editor-in-chief of Macron smiled and said, "Professor Gu, congratulations, I just received a call that your student's paper has passed the review of our journal." ”
