Chapter 655

Since Macron's editor-in-chief was so anxious, he flew thousands of miles to China in person to sign a contract with Gu Lu.

Of course, the news of this contract will not be deliberately concealed for too long.

On the side of "New Advances in Mathematics", there is also an urgent need to announce to the outside world that Gu Lu has formed a contractual relationship with their magazine.

It doesn't do it any good to simply keep it hidden.

Instead, the news will be announced.

Although it may cause dissatisfaction among the other three of the four major journals, in the eyes of the Everbright mathematics community, the status of "New Advances in Mathematics" will undoubtedly be raised to a higher level.

Be clear.

Gu Lu has a lot of fans in the mathematics world.

Don't say anything else.

But at least this group of fans, "New Advances in Mathematics" can attract a large part.

At least......

So that "New Advances in Mathematics" will not fall behind when competing with the other two journals except "Annals of Mathematics".

In conclusion, there are pros and cons to this matter.

But on the whole, the pros outweigh the disadvantages.

Bao Songquan does not believe that Macron's editor-in-chief will not know this.

Therefore.

If Bao Songquan's estimate is good.

The news that "New Advances in Mathematics" hired Gu Lu as a reviewer will not be released soon.

At that time, his task was to add a small boost to the situation, and then completely break down the relationship between the four major journals, and the unwritten rule of 'not employing Chinese mathematicians as reviewers' was completely diluted.

Thus, the four major mathematical journals will further realize the recruitment of Chinese mathematicians.

In the step-by-step plan that followed, Bao Songquan conceived very clearly.

But.

Such a huge and significant undertaking would certainly not have been possible for him alone.

Bao Songquan needs the help of many people.

"Senior brother, do you need me to do anything?" Gu Lu asked in a deep voice.

"You don't need to make a move, you can just be busy with the affairs of your research group, as for this side, just leave it to me. Bao Songquan patted Gu Lu on the shoulder.

"Then Senior Brother, who are you going to find?" Gu Lu pondered for a few seconds and said.

"Academician Wu!" Bao Songquan spit out a person's name without hesitation.

He is currently the president of the Chinese Mathematical Society, Academician Wu.

Bao Songquan went to ask for help from this big guy, which was no longer appropriate.

After finishing speaking, Bao Songquan no longer hesitated, directly took out his mobile phone and dialed Academician Wu's phone.

"Hey, Xiaobao?" the phone was quickly connected, and Academician Wu's familiar voice came from the phone.

"Academician Wu, is it convenient for you now?" Bao Songquan said cautiously.

In the face of Academician Wu, the leader of the Chinese mathematics community, Bao Songquan was in awe.

"It's very convenient, Xiaobao, is there anything important?" Academician Wu knew Bao Songquan's personality.

Since Bao Songquan will take the initiative to call him, there must be something important to say.

"Oh, Academician Wu, the specific thing is like this......" Bao Songquan briefly recounted the matter.

On Academician Wu's side, he was also amazed for a long time when he heard Bao Songquan say that the editor-in-chief of Macron took the initiative to hire Gu Lu as the reviewer of "New Advances in Mathematics".

"Hehe, I really didn't expect that the relationship between the four major mathematics journals that had been maintained for more than 20 years would break down because of Gu Lu alone!" Academician Wu said with a smile, his tone was very relaxed, and even a little gloating, "Now it seems that the four major mathematics journals are not as united as we imagined!"

Let's be honest.

Academician Wu once thought that the situation of the four major mathematics journals restricting Chinese mathematicians would one day cease to exist.

But I didn't expect it to be today, let alone just because of Gu Lu.

"The four major mathematics journals are already inseparable, and if it weren't for the national level, they would have been eager to bite each other's skin. Especially after the "Annals of Mathematics" sat firmly in the top position of the four major journals, this situation has been exacerbated a lot, and they do not like each other. Bao Songquan sneered.

In this world, there are no eternal allies, only eternal interests.

The mathematics circle is so big, and there are so many top papers produced every year, and the four major journals are simply not enough.

If you have more than one person, you will have one less.

In this case, of course, there is more than one journal, and it is hoped that one journal can dominate.

"New Advances in Mathematics" recruited Gu Lu, although it seems to be bold, but in fact, it can catch the other three journals off guard.

"Xiaobao, what you just said is right, after this news is announced, it will definitely cause contradictions between the four major journals, and at that time, this is where our opportunity lies. In order not to lag behind the "New Progress in Mathematics" during the other three periods, they will definitely recruit our Chinese mathematicians, and when the time comes, we will push the boat down the river and root the roots of our Chinese mathematicians in the four major journals, and then gradually grasp a part of our voice in the four major journals!" Academician Wu calmly analyzed.

Bao Songquan slapped his thigh violently and exhaled lightly, "Academician Wu, I think so too!"

Academician Wu's thoughts coincide with Bao Songquan.

"In this case, this matter will be kept secret for the time being, and then I will take full responsibility, and I will hold a small meeting within our mathematical society later, and after some matters have been decided, I will immediately send people to help you complete this plan to take root in the four major journals. Academician Wu commanded in a serious tone, "Xiaobao, remember, this is both an opportunity and a challenge for us. ”

"If we can't grasp this opportunity, we don't know when the next time we can wait for such an opportunity. ”

Bao Songquan held his mobile phone tightly and nodded solemnly, "Academician Wu, I know, don't worry, I promise to complete this task and make the four major mathematics journals full of our Chinese mathematicians!"

"Okay, you are the eldest disciple of Lao Ji, or the vice president of Yan University, I can rest assured that this matter will be handed over to you. Academician Wu nodded, then changed his words and asked, "By the way, Xiaobao, is Gu Lu with you?"

Academician Wu just asked casually, but unexpectedly, Bao Songquan gave a positive answer.

Then, the phone went to Gu Lu's hand.

"Old Wu, good morning. Gu Lu greeted with a smile.

Hearing Gu Lu's familiar voice, Academician Wu laughed, and then his voice became a little solemn, "Gu Lu, on behalf of all mathematicians in Huaguo, thank you for your contribution this time. ”

When Academician Wu said this, Gu Lu instantly became flattered.

Gu Lu spread his hands helplessly, and said with a wry smile, "Old Wu, you are tormenting me too much, my side is just a meeting due to fate, and it is not worth such a great gift from you." ”
