Chapter 719: Science Bows Its Head [Asking for a Monthly Pass]
(Monthly pass 10, monthly pass 20 plus more in one, everyone tremble, there is also a monthly pass 30 plus more at night!) )
Originally, those who didn't know the truth saw this tweet and ran to find out the ins and outs, and they were kind of sprinkling a handful of salt on the scar of Science magazine.
And Su Jing was in the car at this time, and she actually saw Dr. Edgar's apology letter, and forwarded it with the official Facebook account, leaving only a V-sign of victory on it.
Now Golden Ranch is still in a cross-border lawsuit with Science magazine, so the other party's apology has not been heeded.
However, in the face of the softness of the "Science" magazine, Wang Hao was secretly happy in his heart, he should be the first to force it to this point, although he has been listed as the number one enemy, but Wang Hao is not a scientist, there is no need to contribute to it, there is no chance of refusal.
If it weren't for this manuscript, Golden Ranch and Science would have been two fields that had nothing to do with each other.
At the same time, the international news is also paying attention to this lawsuit, although the mainstream people believe that there is no suspense about the victory of the Golden Ranch, but there is still a netizen who stubbornly believes that this is the power of the Golden Ranch's money offensive, using money to corrupt the court and severely punish the people's enemy Dr. Edgar.
"Golden Ranch won the lawsuit, and Dr. Edgar issued a long apology letter, saying that he was not academically rigorous!"
"Science Magazine Apologizes, Takes Stock of Past Years of Science Scandals"
"Today, the case of Golden Ranch against Dr. Edgar for defamation was heard in the Sydney Intermediate Court, and Wang Hao was not present at the scene. After a trial that lasted less than two hours, the court convicted Dr. Edgar of defamation, ordered him to pay $1 in damages to the Golden Ranch and issued an apology ******"
"Won! Wang Hao spent $180,000 in attorney fees and sky-high advertising fees for this $1 compensation! ”
"The defamation case of Golden Ranch against Dr. Edgar was successfully concluded in Sydney. Dr. Edgar said that he had no intention of continuing to appeal, and that the data of the paper was provided by the assistant, which he verified improperly and used it without any suspicion. It is reported that the assistant has been dismissed by Dr. Edgar. ”
"Dr. Edgar, who is hard to turn over! The United Nations recently announced that Edgar would be relieved of his appointment and that it would not cooperate in any form in the future. Half a month ago, an Australian university also announced that he would be dismissed as a visiting professor. ”
These reports are reassuring to look at. Wang Hao hummed a little song in his heart, it was simply the entire Australian Honey Association that was collectively banning Dr. Edgar, who made him a sinner for the whole country.
And this time. The sound of the key opening the door came out, and Wang Hao turned his head to see that it was Su Jing and Leah.
"Delivered home safely, then the boss I will go back first. I'll join you here tomorrow before we leave for Melbourne. ”
Leah didn't even enter the house. She stood at the door, waved at Wang Hao and Su Jing, and turned to leave.
Wang Hao opened his mouth and said: "Thank you for escorting her back, you should pay attention to safety when you go back, and talk to your boyfriend about this matter." ”
Su Jing hung her bag aside, and she began to take off Chanel's coat, "I just saw that Edgar and Science have apologized, what are you going to do?" ”
"Accept their apologies, or refuse them?" Wang Hao said humorously, he held Su Jing's hand. He frowned and said, "Your hands are cold to the touch, why don't you wear more clothes?" ”
"Actually, it's not cold. There aren't many young people in Sydney who wear down jackets. Su Jing pointed to his figure, "It's already so fat, if you wear a down jacket again, you won't have to become a meat ball?" ”
Wang Hao casually pulled the blanket folded on the sofa, "Cover it, and we'll go to Melbourne tomorrow, where a rented house has a fireplace to keep warm." ”
Su Jing honestly wrapped the blanket around her body, then picked up her feet and rested them on Wang Hao, she squinted her eyes and said, "I heard Banner say, yesterday you taught the two of them a lesson with a sword unreasonably?" When did you learn fencing? ”
"I'm not fencing, so I wore that clothes, and I didn't follow the rules of fencing at all, just like when I was a child, I was playing with a bamboo pole, imagining that I was a martial arts master making a move, and I was fighting randomly."
A giggle came out, Su Jing didn't expect it to be like this, she pointed to the vibrating phone on the table, "Someone over there is sending you a text message." ”
Wang Hao grabbed his mobile phone and glanced at it, and he said to Su Jing: "Tsk, it should be midnight in the United States now, right?" Science magazine actually called our office and wanted to settle out of court with us. It's still online, and Anna asks me what I want to do. My barrister, tell me what to do. ”
"What else can I do? They all took the lead in apologizing, and this sincerity is still there. We don't want to keep pushing it, because it will be extraordinarily unreasonable and give a bad impression to others. If you want me to say, settle out of court. ”
"If you can reach an out-of-court settlement, try to solve it, but you can't be too cheap for them, do you think that apologizing on Twitter will end it." The corners of Wang Hao's mouth twitched slightly, and he deliberately said in a sinister tone: "We have to let them publish an apology letter in the latest issue of Science magazine, and we will only withdraw the lawsuit after seeing this apology letter." ”
Su Jing's eyes lit up, this proposal is really good, the matter was caused in their magazine, and it ended in the magazine, although Twitter has a huge influence, but the magazine is more respectful.
After Wang Hao sent his thoughts to Anna through a text message, he enjoyed the world of the two with Su Jing with peace of mind, and as for whether "Science" agreed or not, it was none of his business.
After Anna relayed Wang Hao's words to the people of Science magazine, she also felt very cool, when an employee is in this role, no matter what brand or what company it is, she will not deliberately please when she answers the phone.
If you want to please others, it is also someone else to please yourself, and jumping from Twentieth Century Fox may be the most correct decision Anna has made, she looked at the Dior limited edition bag on the table. It was a gift from Su Jing to her.
However, the "Science" magazine has already made a mess of porridge, and it is already late at night, but this group of people can still only stay up late to discuss this matter with lights.
"No, I can't. We must not write any apology letter on the publication we issue, this is simply undermining our authority! ”
"Yes, I'm in favor of not being able to send it. If we do, wouldn't we think we're wrong, and what do the rest of us think? ”
"Now the deputy editor-in-chief of Nature sees that I am still asking about it, and I am so angry that I want to punch him."
"This little golden ranch has to get these things out, it's just a hillbilly in that rural country of Australia."
"Already apologized on Twitter. That's the limit. They also want to publish an apology letter in Science, why not ask for an apology on the cover! ”
"That's the bottom line, there's nothing to talk about."
The crowd was excited. No one agreed with Wang Hao's idea, as if it was killing them.
In fact, it is true that as one of the most prestigious and established science magazines, Science has too many accolades. These honors are so heavy that they almost dare not erase them. But this incident has become a lingering stain.
At this time, the bald editor-in-chief began to speak: "Then do you have any other way?" Continue to drag with the Golden Ranch at the courthouse? We can communicate with the government and the court and drag this case down slowly. But our competitors are already far ahead!
In the face of science, is it difficult to admit mistakes? Even Einstein and Newton apologized, so why can't we apologize? Lowering the posture does not mean that we will let the glory of the past be swept away, but rather the mentality of changing when we know our mistakes.
Apologize seriously, and maybe turn this incident into a good story. Let more people pay attention to our Science magazine, and increase the circulation of the following. ”
Everyone fell silent. They are not fools, they know very well that it is the true truth to apologize according to Wang Hao's request now, but the pride in their hearts makes them unable to let go.
However, as long as it can stimulate sales and erase this stain, the apology letter is actually not difficult to accept.
"Since everyone has no objections, this apology letter was published on the front page of the May issue of the magazine, and I personally wrote it."
The veteran editor-in-chief finally made a decision, and the matter of Golden Ranch suing his magazine in the Washington court was like a fish bone stuck in his throat, and he had to pull it out as soon as possible.
As soon as the matter was decided, the original typeset issue of the magazine set aside a page at the front to publish an apology letter to the editor-in-chief, and the aging machine of Science was finally restarted and began to restore its reputation.
The editors and middle and senior executives who stayed up in the middle of the night could finally yawn and go home to sleep, and they blacklisted Golden Ranch and Wang Hao one by one, and even hated China and Australia because of this.
And when the eyes returned to Australia, after Wang Hao and Su Jing, a black-hearted couple, threw the thorny question to Science magazine, they were so relaxed that they ran to the supermarket to buy groceries like no one.
"I checked, and it wasn't the Melbourne Equestrian Festival at all, it was obviously another equestrian expo, but it just happened to be held in Melbourne."
Su Jing looked at the seafood selectively, and said to Wang Hao: "The Melbourne Equestrian Festival is in November, and it's only May!" ”
Wang Hao thought about it, he didn't argue too much, and said to himself: "I thought that the most famous thing in Melbourne was the Melbourne Equestrian Festival, when did there be an equestrian expo?" Fernando didn't listen carefully when he told me, and then I was embarrassed. ”
"It's okay, I've heard that this equestrian expo is held all over the world, but Melbourne should be the biggest one. Anyway, it's all in the past, so let's look forward to the amazing performance of the cheese. ”
Su Jing put a few tomatoes into the shopping basket and prepared for the staff to weigh them, she now felt that she was developing in the direction of a good wife and mother, she didn't have time to cook when she went to work before, and now she was even in the mood to study a snack or something.
Pushing the shopping cart and following Su Jing, Wang Hao didn't care about the quality of these tomatoes, he said with a smile: "Then do you still need a hat?" ”
When Su Jing heard this, he immediately turned around, "John obviously knows that we are not talking about the Melbourne Equestrian Festival, why did he tell me to prepare a hat in a serious manner?" This person is so bad that he didn't even remind us, but fortunately I searched the Internet for my own search, otherwise it would have become a joke. ”
"Maybe he just wanted to joke and forgot about it himself." Wang Hao didn't think that John was deliberate, and he still wanted to think about people in a good direction.
After paying, Wang Hao returned to his car with a bag of loot, and the two of them wanted to go back to their love nest to cook, and the life of sticking together every day was too sweet.
……
The next morning, Leah came here on time, and she volunteered: "Boss, I have a license and experience to fly an airplane, and I can handle the flight." It's only two hours from Sydney to Melbourne, so you can get a good rest in the back seat. ”
"No need, you are not proficient in this aircraft model, so I'll do it. Soon, I'll have to change planes and find a special flight attendant to come with the captain. ”
Wang Hao was not worried about Leah's operation, the plane was not a joke, if something happened in the sky, it would be troublesome.
Su Jing said on the side: "Leah, you just let him open it, he likes these things." While you haven't bought a new plane yet, let him play around, and there will be little chance in the future. ”
It will take several days to go to Melbourne this time, so Wang Hao brought a large suitcase so that he would not have to buy everything.
Driving to Sydney Airport, after passing the security check, Wang Hao was alone on the plane to check the instrument and connect with the airport tower command, and after confirming that the plane could line up and prepare for takeoff, he beckoned Su Jing and the two to sit up.
"Hurry up and fasten your seatbelts, we're going to line up. There are still 2 planes waiting in front, and if you miss it, you will probably get it in the afternoon. ”
Su Jing buckled up his seat belt and said, "Today's latest version of Science has been released, and at the back of the table of contents is the letter of apology they published, which was written by the editor-in-chief himself. ”
"The paper provided by Dr Edgar contains a lot of fabricated data and data loopholes, and the original intention of this paper is to raise awareness of the quality of honey in everyday life, rather than deliberately targeting the Australian honey industry.
Previously, some analysis by others led us to believe that it is reasonable to use Australian honey as a model for the world's honey - because Australian honey sells well all over the world, and more than hundreds of millions of kilograms of honey are produced every year.
However, we acknowledge that linking these mistakes, the lack of detailed discussion of the specific data, and the lack of questioning of the paper itself, have had an undue impact on the Australian honey industry.
This was not our intention at all, and we apologise to all our readers and to Gold Ranches and all the honey companies in Australia. ”
Wang Hao laughed happily, it seems that "Science" magazine really bowed his head and apologized, and it was published in his latest issue of the magazine, he smiled and sent a text message to Anna, asking her to buy dozens of magazines to keep, and by the way, the appeal from Washington was withdrawn.
