It was also on this day that a manuscript from the East was placed at the top of the desk of Kenneth, the editor-in-chief of the magazine.

Kenneth had just returned from outside, and he sighed as he looked at the pile of manuscripts on his desk that needed to be reviewed.

"The editor-in-chief has to call the shots of everything, isn't it too easy for the group of people below. ”

Complaining is complaining, the work has to continue, he first made a cup of coffee, smelled the fragrance of coffee, blew off the heat, and swallowed a mouthful.

A warmth flowed into the abdomen in the bitterness, and Kenneth was in good spirits, and this is the beginning of his current work.

On the left-hand side, seven or eight points of papers are piled up, and the pale yellow documents of agreement are bazaared. These have been reviewed by the internal staff of Nature Magazine.

"Look at the first one, what surprises. Kenneth picked up the top paper, and the short line on the clasp rotated counterclockwise a few times.

The manuscript received by the magazine, because the content is too advanced and obscure, the preliminary review process is actually very loose, and several scholars in the newspaper will check it first, and the logic is fine, and then send it upward, and the editor-in-chief Kenneth will find a way to contact several masters for re-examination.

The first-class journal of Nature does not produce more than 200 papers a year. So this job, looking tiring, is actually quite easy.

I have been exposed to more such manuscripts, and it can be said that there are sharp eyes from top to bottom of the magazine, and several professional scholars employed by the magazine are also familiar with contemporary cutting-edge science.

In the advanced field, we will notify the top academic experts who have cooperative relations with major universities to comment.

The rough right hand went deep into the file bag, pulled out a stack of A4 papers, placed it in the center of the table, and swiped the first text at random, Kenneth smiled with satisfaction.

"It's really a very organized manuscript, and it's even separated by a shallow pencil straight line. ”

Kenneth saw it neat, clean, and organized, and even if the manuscript was not good, he would praise the small change.

A4 paper does not have lines, but the paper used for submission is the most common. In order to understand the ideas of those academic masters, the magazine often receives messy manuscripts, and in order to understand the ideas of those academic masters, they have to identify and transcribe them one by one, not to mention the increased workload, and if there is a little omission, outsiders will make fun of the unprofessionalism of the natural newspaper.

Retracting his thoughts, Kenneth really tackled the content:

"On the predictability of stocks. ”

"What?"

As soon as the first question appeared, Kenneth suddenly chilled all over his body, the temperature of the room dropped to freezing, and the malice was full of malice, as if turning into a pair of invisible hands, absorbing the heat of his whole body, and striking him hard in the chest.

"What is this? Someone, someone. ”

Kenneth screamed in horror, this kind of thing can appear in the world, even if it is true, it should not be true, he didn't see it at all, he didn't see anything.

He actually understood in his heart that when he handed it to him, someone had already seen it, so the result was ......

The surging female secretary at the door pushed open the office door and lowered her body slightly to expose the whiteness of the V.

"Editor-in-chief, is there something wrong?" the secretary smiled professionally, coquettish and sexy.

In the past, Kenneth would have enjoyed the little games that both sides knew, but today was completely different, and he angrily pointed to the table and shouted, "Help me ask who handled Document 154 today, and call me." ”

"Yes, editor-in-chief. The secretary swayed out and closed the door gently. She could see that the editor-in-chief was in a bad mood, and went to the door to ask for a big change, and said: "Who is in charge of the review of Document 154, Kenneth thinks there is a problem." ”

......

In the office, Kenneth untied his tie and walked around the room in a circle, waiting for a minute before two subordinates entered.

The person in the back closed the door, and Kenneth immediately asked, "Is Document 154 reviewed by the two of you?"

"Yes, sir. ”

"That's right. ”

The two staff members did not answer the same thing, but they had similar meanings, and they were equally young and determined.

"Why did you put it on my desk, although I haven't read this paper, I think it must be fake. Yes, it must be fake. ”

Kenneth screamed, but the malice was not something that words could dispel. He cheered himself up and said, "Now, everyone pretends to have seen nothing, you, go and send it to the document shredder." ”

"Sorry sir, I don't understand what you're talking about?" the staff member who was named pretended to be stupid, with a deep disdain in his eyes.

This old Jianghu Kenneth naturally understood, and turned his gaze to the other end, the guy turned his head away, completely ignoring Kenneth's command.

"Okay, tell me why. Have a seat. ”

Since he couldn't convince him, Kenneth decided to be gentle. The working environment in the West is different from that in the East, if a Westerner is dissatisfied with his superiors and thinks that the other party is incompetent, he can directly complain to his superiors.

Kenneth is not afraid that his job will not be secure, he is afraid that after complaining, the paper will be known to the world, and at that time, he will not be able to deal with it as a small editor-in-chief.

The two young people in front of me are both graduates of the top universities in the UK and have joined Nature Magazine with their ideals.

Kenneth didn't think they had figured out the gravity of the matter, and that if he hinted a few more times, it would have passed.

"Manuscript No. 154, the data is detailed, the argument is rigorous, and the final formula is even more aura, I saw the formula at that time, as if I saw the God of the data world, perfect and mysterious. ”

The man with glasses, his tone was a little fanatical, he was a graduate of a prestigious school, and he came to work in Nature Magazine, not for that little salary at all, but to get in touch with the cutting-edge academics of the world's science.

When one of the top papers passed through one after another, he seemed to return to his youthful studies, like a pilgrimage to open, study, and indulge.

Kenneth's heart sank, it's over, I'm afraid I can't convince him.

"That's right, perfect paper, perfect formula. Another agreed.

"So, two young gentlemen, do you know what our boss does?" Kenneth decided to give one last hint, it was too big.

"Newspaper tycoon. ”

"Media giants. ”

"No, no, no, these identities are just one of them, the boss also has real estate and investment businesses. Real estate companies have been listed, and stocks are said to be very strong in the capital market. In terms of investment, needless to say, funds, private equity, etc., the boss does it. Do you understand?"

Kenneth dealt with his boss, who never cared about the content of the magazine, and the academic part was left entirely to the professionals.

The boss only focuses on the valuation, branding, reputation, advertising revenue, and so on. "So, sir, what do you say about that? Are you going to give up the bottom line of academic justice?

is a graduate of a prestigious school, the man with eyes is not a fool, and the ugliness of the editor-in-chief almost makes him nauseous.

"Sir, if you don't handle it properly, I'm not just going to complain to my superiors. Another took out his mobile phone, pointed to the software on the screen, and said, "I have recorded the recording, and I believe that university scholars from all over the world are quite interested in the position of the magazine." ”

It turned out that he had been prepared, and Kenneth was shocked. How is it good?
