"This year's annual meeting of ancient Chinese history has been held in advance, don't you know?" Weng Xiupin gave Chen Kan a roll of his eyes and asked.

"What, ahead of schedule?" Chen Kan was stunned, he really didn't know this, and then he thought of something, Chen Kan immediately took out his mobile phone, pressed the power button, and then Chen Kan was stunned.

"Well, my phone is out of battery!" Chen Kan touched his nose and said with some embarrassment.

"I'll just say why the phone can't get through, it turns out that the mobile phone is out of battery, can I interview you, your mobile phone has been out of battery for a few days?" Weng Xiupin said with a smile.

"Well, I don't know about this, I haven't looked at my phone for a few days, and now this smartphone is good at everything, but the power consumption is too fast." Chen Kan plugged his phone into the power supply and said, as soon as he turned it on, there were a bunch of missed calls and text messages.

Chen Kan usually doesn't take the initiative to look at his mobile phone when he has nothing to do, but this time he went to the military region and habitually put his mobile phone in his pocket, and he didn't look at whether the mobile phone was powered or not.

"You guy, aren't you going to charge your phone every day?" Weng Xiupin was very helpless, obviously she was used to the unreliability of her junior brother, and this was not the first time.

"I'll try my best, senior sister, you should tell me about this annual meeting." Chen Kandao.

"This annual meeting has been brought forward to the end of this month, on July 23rd, at the Eastern University of the Magic City." Weng Xiupin said.

"Didn't it all be held on National Day before, why is it so much in advance this time, it is estimated that many people are not prepared, some may have been traveling abroad, what are they doing this time?"

"Who knows, I was originally planning to go to Europe, the ticket and itinerary have already been booked, and now I only refund the ticket." Weng Xiupin said helplessly.

This so-called "Annual Conference of Ancient Chinese History" is actually just a gathering, a gathering of scholars who study ancient Chinese history, which is held once a year, usually during the National Day.

A gathering of scholars is naturally an exchange of ideas and research experiences.

For young scholars (even those under the age of 40 are considered young scholars), being able to attend the annual conference represents an identity, an identity that you are recognized by the circle.

As for the way to participate, it is actually very simple, it is a thesis, and scholars rely on your research level to determine whether you are eligible to participate in the annual meeting.

There are two types of papers here.

One is a paper published in top journals at home and abroad, if you have a paper published in a top journal this year, then it is equivalent to getting a ticket, which is very difficult.

As for the top journals in China, to be honest, 80% of the places are reserved for those well-known scholars, and the top journals are like their wives to them.

The second way is to submit your paper to the annual meeting office, and they will review your paper and participate if you pass it.

In addition, some of the best papers will be selected every year, read on stage at the annual meeting, present their research results, and then face questions from many scholars.

Of course, the "questioning" here is only an ideal state, and basically no one will ask questions, because if the question is too difficult to accidentally get off the stage, it will be embarrassing.

This kind of scholar's annual meeting does not have the kind of fierce academic debate that many people expect, and the academic debate of a hundred flowers is always just imaginary, and this situation will not happen at the annual meeting, at least not in this era, in fact, it is very boring.

If that's the case, then why do so many people want to go?

First of all, being able to participate in the annual meeting itself is a status symbol, and the scholars at the annual meeting basically represent the elite strength of all scientific research in this specialty, which is all connections.

And Chen Kan is most interested in the tea party after the annual meeting, for the annual meeting, to be honest, Chen Kan is not interested at all, it is simply torment, but after the tea party, Chen Kan is very interested.

This tea party is not an official "product", it is just a few old experts sitting down to drink tea and chat, but these old experts are real scholars, their chat, that is full of collision of ideas, for them, knowledge has basically reached the realm of integration, they will not be limited to history, will talk about astronomy and geography, because everything has history, history contains everything.

Listening to this kind of conversation with people with high thinking dimensions, the feeling and gain are completely different.

Just like this year, when Wang Shoufu was interviewed by the media, he said, "Set a small goal first and earn him 100 million".

For ordinary people, this sounds too fantastical, too incredible, let alone a lifetime, three lifetimes can't be done, but this point may really be just a small goal for people at the level of the richest man, because the height of thinking is different, and the dimension of looking at things is completely different.

We are all talking about social stratification, what is called "social stratification", in fact, the essence of social stratification is the stratification of ideas.

People always like to be self-righteous and look at things from their own perspective, and when they see that the rich have donated hundreds of millions, many people's reaction is "cut, this person is putting on a show again".

It's like adults who feel very naïve when they listen to some of their children's ideas, how do you know that your ideas are not very naïve in the eyes of this rich man? You never understand what that class of people are thinking.

"Senior sister, you don't go to travel to refund your ticket in order to write a paper!" Chen Kan said with a smile.

"Yes, of course, I was going to write it again in August and September, but now I have to rush back to write it." Weng Xiupin shrugged and said, she generously admitted this.

Chen Kan said with a smile: "I advised you to write it early, but you just didn't listen, now it's okay, things are all crowded together." ”

"Alas, procrastination, no way, you think everyone is you!" Weng Xiupin said helplessly.

"Procrastination", which can occur in any individual, is a very common phenomenon because procrastination is a product of the unique working principle of the human brain, and no one can get rid of procrastination.

It's just that some people find a suitable way to overcome the trouble of procrastination more effectively, and some people can only be killed by procrastination, and they want to die, and Weng Xiupin prefers the latter.
