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

, and these are the fundamental factors that determine whether they are eating steamed buns or eating luxurious meals.

Lu Qiujian did this because he wanted the problem he raised to become a research hotspot faster. This money was equivalent to a carrot that created hot spots, dangling in front of the eyes of these mathematicians, allowing them to move forward in the direction he directed.

But for such a huge goal, this amount of money is not enough. One hundred thousand US dollars is a lot for ordinary people, but it is not enough to attract scientists; although the Fields Medal award is only US$1,500,

However, the authority that this award has established over a long period of time is something that the foundation currently does not possess.

So Lu Qiujian thought of another channel, "Principal, I want to start another journal to publish papers related to these ten issues." By studying Ramanujan's theory, he can compile a journal with a high impact factor.

"Ramanujan Journal", then why can't I do this?

Relative to money, a new channel for publishing papers may be what most mathematicians prefer. "We at Capital University will select a group of mathematicians to do the preliminary review, and then the authority of the review committee will do the final review. Of course, those in other journals

Published papers can also participate in the awards.”

It is difficult for ordinary people to get the issue number of a journal, but Capital University has its own publishing house, so it is relatively easy to get an issue number; if Capital University has a high-quality international academic journal under its name

, this is also very beneficial to expanding the influence of Capital University. Lu Qiujian is not afraid that the principal will not agree.

"The most important thing for a journal is how to solve the problem of having people submit articles?" The principal was more cautious and directly asked the question he was most worried about.

"Where have I saved some manuscripts? In the early stage, I can also request manuscripts from the mathematicians who participated in the last conference." Lu Qiujian was confident about this. "And I saw on arxiv during this period that there are already some scattered related papers."

Papers appeared, such as Alexanderevich’s paper of Moscow University

The quality of the article is very good. We can ask them if they are willing to submit the manuscript to our journal. In this way, the manuscript will be completed for a period of time. As the influence of the journal gradually expands, even if someone asks for it,

Let’s publish his article instead of asking someone to write it.”

"Can you also bring out what Academician Qiao made last time? This is the key data to prove the correctness of your questions." Professor Zhang also helped.

Clapping his hands, the principal nodded, "Okay. That's it." Lu Qiujian has become the biggest favorite for the next Fields Medal. It is worth taking some risks for him. The principal quickly agreed.

Determination, "There are only five or six employees in the foundation now, and it seems to be far behind now. I will allocate manpower to set up the foundation first, and then I will leave it to them to send out invitation emails to promote journals and other things."

do it”

"The salaries of these personnel can be paid out of the donated funds." According to Simmons' profitability, the foundation can obtain a disposable profit of three million US dollars per year. After excluding the one million bonus, there are still two million that can be used.

In terms of daily operations, it is basically enough to pay employees, produce journals, and prepare for annual meetings.

"Well, can we still advertise in the four major journals "Sature" and other magazines in the early stage?" The principal became excited when he thought of the annual meeting, and waved his hand, "If the foundation's funds are not enough, Capital University can also help

Are you trying to raise some money?”

"It seems that it is enough for now. If it is not enough, I will trouble you again." Lu Qiujian expressed his attitude, "By the way, what should the principal's journal be called? How about you help pick one?"

"And the name of the award," Professor Zhang added on the side.

"Huh? Haha, the funds for this fund were obtained by Xiao Lu, and the main direction was also guided by Xiao Lu. It's really inappropriate for me to name it without doing anything." The principal smiled and waved his hand, "As I mean, it's still Xiao Lu

Just give it a name yourself."

They pushed each other around for a while, and seeing that they were firm, Lu Qiujian agreed. "If you let me choose a name, how would you like to read "New Directions in Mathematics"?"

"Well, not bad, it just clarifies the theme of this journal." The principal rubbed his chin and thought about it. He agreed with the name. Professor Zhang also had no objection, so the name of this journal was decided.

"What about the names of the awards? Currently, the scientific community generally names awards after people. How about we do the same?" Professor Zhang joked.

Well, think about it, both the Nobel Prize, the Fields Medal and the Lacks Medal seem to be named after people. The donor of this fund is actually himself. Is it called the Lu Qiujian Prize?

This name really made him sweat. Will it shorten his life if he names an award after himself at such a young age? However, it seems that there are many awards named after Mr. Run Run Shaw. He has a long life.

.

After thinking about it for a while, I finally rejected this method, "The donor does not want his identity to be disclosed. I think it should be called the Mathematics New Discovery Award. It should be consistent with the name of the journal. The annual award will be called the New Discovery Award. As for the person who finally solved the problem

The grand prize is called the New Discovery Special Prize.”

Tsk, this name doesn't sound loud enough. The principal despised Lu Qiujian's naming skills in his heart, but as mentioned above, almost all the credit for this matter belongs to Lu Qiujian, and he

I wanted to win the Capital University Mathematics Prize, but I was embarrassed to say it, so I pinched my nose and accepted.

"Okay, you go back and prepare. Come with me to Jiangcheng the day after tomorrow. It's time for this year's mathematics conference." Professor Zhang ordered after coming out of the principal's office.

Are you about to receive the award? Lu Qiujian instantly thought of the form he filled out last time. This is the only problem with awarding awards in China. There are no surprises at all.

"When will you be back?" Lu Qiujian nodded after receiving Professor Zhang's answer. It did not conflict with the time when Simmons arrived in the capital. "Okay, what do I need to prepare?"

"Nothing else is necessary, but you have to prepare a speech after winning the award, right?" Professor Zhang looked at Lu Qiujian with a smile, haha, this time I can show off in front of my old friends. To be continued.
