Most mathematicians usually focus on the hot issues in their research field when choosing a research direction, because hot issues are more likely to be published in journals, easier to get citations from peers in the industry, and easier to get honors.

Lu Qiujian did this to make the problem he raised a hot spot faster to become a hot spot of research, and this money was equivalent to a carrot to create a hot spot, hanging in front of the eyes of these mathematicians, so that they could move forward in the direction they were guided.

But for such a huge goal, this amount of money is not enough! $100,000 is a lot for ordinary people, but it is not enough to attract scientists; although the Fields Medal is only worth $1,500, the long-standing authority of the award is something that the Foundation does not currently have.

Therefore, Lu Qiujian thought of another channel, "Principal, I want to set up another journal to publish papers related to these ten issues!" "By studying Ramanuqiang's theory, you can make up a "Ramanuqiang Journal" with a high impact factor, so why can't you do this? Compared with money, a new channel for publishing papers may be what most mathematicians prefer, "Let's select a group of mathematicians from Beijing Normal University to do the preliminary review, and then the authority of the review committee will do the final review!" Of course, papers published in other journals can also be awarded!"

It is not easy for ordinary people to get the issue number of a journal, but Beijing Normal University has its own publishing house, so it is relatively easy to get a number; if Beijing Normal University has a high-quality international academic journal under its name, it will also be very beneficial to expand the influence of Beijing Normal University, and Lu Qiujian is not afraid that the president will not agree.

"The most important thing for a journal is that someone submits it! How to solve this problem?" the principal was relatively cautious, and directly asked the question he was most worried about.

"Where do I save some manuscripts, and I can also ask for manuscripts from the mathematicians who participated in the conference last time!" Lu Qiujian is confident about this, "And I have seen on arXiv during this time, and there are now some scattered related papers. For example, the quality of Aleksandevich's papers at Moscow University is very good, and we can ask them if they are willing to submit their manuscripts to our journals! In this way, the manuscripts will be completed for a period of time! Slowly, as the influence of the journal expands, even if people ask us to publish his articles, instead of us asking for an appointment!"

"Can you also take out what Academician Qiao made last time? This is the key information to prove the correctness of your questions!" Professor Zhang also helped on the side.

Clapping his hands, the principal nodded, "Okay, that's it!" Lu Qiujian has now become the biggest favorite for the next Fields Medal, and it is worth taking some risks for him, the principal quickly made up his mind, "Now there are only five or six employees in the foundation. Now it seems that the gap is far away, so I will assign people to set up the shelves of the Foundation first, and then I will send manuscript invitation emails, promote journals, and so on, and leave it to them to do!"

"The salaries of these personnel can be paid from that donation!" "According to Simmons's profitability, the foundation can get three million dollars a year in disposable profits, in addition to the one million bonuses, and two million can be used for daily operations, which is basically enough to pay employees, produce periodicals, and organize annual conferences!

"Well, can we still advertise in the four major journals, Science, Nature, and other magazines in the early stage!" the principal waved his hand as he excited at the thought of the annual meeting. "If the foundation's funds are not enough, can Jingshi University also help raise some?"

"It seems that it is enough at the moment, if it is not enough, I will trouble you again!" Lu Qiujian expressed his attitude, "That's right. Headmaster, what's the name of this journal? Why don't you pick one for you?"

"And the name of the award!" Professor Zhang added.

"Huh, the funds of this fund were obtained by Xiao Lu, and the main direction was also guided by Xiao Lu, so it is really inappropriate for me to name it without doing anything!" "According to what I mean, it's better for Xiao Lu to choose a name yourself!"

After pushing each other for a while, I saw that they were resolute. Lu Qiujian also agreed, "If I am asked to choose a name, how about you two watch "New Directions in Mathematics"?"

"Well, that's right, I just pointed out the theme of this journal!" The principal touched his chin and pondered, and agreed to the name, and Professor Zhang had no opinion, so the name of the journal was decided!

"And the name of the award? At present, the scientific community generally names awards after people, or should we do the same?" Professor Zhang quipped.

Well, think about it, whether it is the Nobel Prize, the Fields Medal, or the Lacks Prize, it seems that they are indeed named after people! The donor of this fund is actually himself, is it called the Lu Qiujian Prize?

This name really made him sweat, and he used his name to name the award at a young age, would it be a long life? But it seems that there are many awards named after Mr. Run Run Shaw, and he is an old man who lives a long life.

After thinking about it for a while, he finally rejected this method, "Donors don't want to disclose their identities, so I think it's better to call it the New Discovery Award in Mathematics! Same as the name of the journal, the annual award is called the New Discovery Award, and the grand prize for finally solving the problem is called the New Discovery Special Award!"

Tsk, this name doesn't sound loud enough! The principal despised Lu Qiujian's naming level fiercely in his heart, but as mentioned above, almost all the credit for this matter is Lu Qiujian, and he wants to call it the Beijing Normal University Mathematics Award, so he is embarrassed to say it, so he pinched his nose and responded.

"Okay, you go back and get ready, and go to Jiangcheng with me the day after tomorrow! The time for this year's mathematics conference is coming!" came out of the president's office, Professor Zhang ordered.

Lu Qiujian instantly thought of the form he filled out last time! Hey, this is not good for domestic awards, and there are no surprises at all!

"When will you come back?" After getting Professor Zhang's reply, Lu Qiujian nodded, which did not conflict with the time when Simmons arrived in the capital, "Okay, what do I need to prepare?"

"You don't need anything else, but you have to prepare a copy of the speech after winning the award, right?" Professor Zhang looked at Lu Qiujian with a smile, haha, this time you can show off in front of your old friends! )
