Chapter 651

Does Editor-in-Chief Macron have the courage?

Of course there is!

In recent years, the rise of China's mathematics community has been unstoppable.

The restrictions on reviewers have not caused too many constraints to the Chinese mathematics community.

Because at most these four major journals do not allow Chinese mathematicians to serve as reviewers, it is impossible to hurt the enemy a thousand times and hurt yourself eight hundred by not including the papers of Chinese mathematicians.

Because of this.

Whether Chinese mathematicians serve as reviewers for the four major journals has become an innocuous matter.

then.

Editor-in-chief Macron saw this opportunity and chose to appoint Gu Lu as a reviewer for "New Advances in Mathematics" to prepare for closer cooperation in the future.

The top management of the magazine also understood this truth, so they turned a blind eye to Editor-in-Chief Macron's behavior and chose to acquiesce.

An existence like Gu Lu is certainly something that all academic journals are competing for.

At this time.

Of course, the earlier you take action, the easier it will be to seize the opportunity.

therefore.

Regarding the matter of Gu Lu serving as a reviewer for "New Advances in Mathematics", there is certainly no problem with the magazine.

But the key is Gu Lu’s side...

Gu Lu hesitated for a moment and typed a reply, "Editor-in-Chief Macron, you should know that I have been busy with a new topic recently, and I probably won't be able to find time to serve as a reviewer for your journal and review papers, so,

Regarding this matter, can we wait until the research on my project is completed before we discuss it?"

Wait for Gu Lu's research project to be completed.

This will have to wait until the year of the monkey and the month of the horse!

Editor-in-chief Macron is aware of the difficulty of the topic Gu Lu is currently studying, and he also understands that without enough time, he will definitely not be able to solve that topic.

Editor-in-chief Macron cannot wait that long.

He was quite eager to confirm his relationship with Gu Lu.

Otherwise.

After a few years of waiting, Gu Lu's hot cake will be snatched away by others.

In terms of strength and foundation, the other three of the four major journals in mathematics are no worse than New Advances in Mathematics.

Especially the super giant "Annals of Mathematics".

Compared with it, "New Advances in Mathematics" does not have any advantages at all.

not to mention.

Editor-in-chief Macron knew that Gu Lu’s alma mater was Princeton University, where the headquarters of Annals of Mathematics is located.

Therefore, Editor-in-Chief Macron knew that this matter could not be delayed.

After pondering for a few seconds, Editor-in-Chief Macron gritted his teeth and made a rather bold decision, "Professor Gu, we can do this."

"We can sign a contract first, but we will not assign you the task of reviewing papers for the time being. You only need to put your name on our magazine. Of course, we will still pay you your salary during this period as usual."

The conditions proposed by Editor-in-Chief Macron are really excellent.

Not only is there no need to work, but the salary is free.

Simply, you are just lying down and making money!

"Editor-in-Chief Macron, this...isn't appropriate." Gu Lu looked embarrassed.

Gu Lu still felt very embarrassed that his wages were wasted.

The reply from Editor-in-Chief Macron was quite generous, "What's inappropriate? I think this arrangement is the best. The review work of our journal is not too busy, and it happens that Professor Gu is busy with the research group."

, then just temporarily stop reviewing the manuscript. Wouldn’t this be the best of both worlds?”

"Professor Gu, when you are free, it would be nice to spend some time reviewing manuscripts to kill the boring time."

Editor-in-chief Macron’s attitude was very humble.

Gu Lu sweated when he saw this sentence.

Since the review work of the journal is not that busy, why do you still need to sign me as a reviewer?

Gu Lu twitched the corner of his mouth helplessly.

"When will the contract be signed?" Gu Lu replied.

Upon seeing this sentence sent by Gu Lu, Editor-in-Chief Macron immediately looked overjoyed.

finally……

With his continuous attacks, he finally captured Gu Lu.

"Of course the sooner the better!" Editor-in-Chief Macron replied immediately.

Delay will lead to change!

Although Editor-in-Chief Macron is not Chinese, he still understands this truth.

"However, I am in China and I probably don't have time to fly to Germany to sign the contract." Gu Lu hesitated.

"It doesn't matter, I will buy a ticket to fly to China now and rush there with the contract." Editor-in-chief Macron expressed enthusiasm about this matter.

But yes.

Compared with signing Gu Lu, flying thousands of miles to China is obviously worth it.

…………

Editor-in-chief Macron’s work efficiency is indeed quite straightforward.

After finishing the chat with Gu Lu, Editor-in-Chief Macron called his assistant to arrange the review of Bi Qi's paper, and told him to publish the review results as soon as possible.

After arranging this matter, Editor-in-Chief Macron drove straight to the airport, took the nearest flight, and headed straight to China.

That evening, Editor-in-Chief Macron arrived in China.

Due to the unfamiliarity of the place and the language barrier.

Editor-in-chief Macron struggled for a while before finding a hotel to stay.

The next day.

Editor-in-chief Macron hurried to Yanda without even adjusting to the time difference.

In the office in the School of Science and Technology Building of Yanda University, Gu Lu met Editor-in-Chief Macron who had arrived after a long journey.

Since they had already discussed it via email yesterday, Gu Lu simply signed his name on the contract.

"Professor Gu, happy cooperation!"

"Editor-in-Chief Macron, happy to work with you!"

Two big hands, tightly held together.

"Editor-in-Chief Macron, do you want to stay for a meal and try our authentic Chinese cuisine?" Gu Lu said politely with a smile.

Editor-in-chief Macron waved his hand and declined, "No, the next issue of "New Advances in Mathematics" will be published soon. There are still many things at the magazine that I need to keep an eye on. There is no chance for me to eat this time.

Save it for next time.”

As the editor-in-chief of "New Advances in Mathematics", Macron is of course very busy at work.

And even though he is such a busy man, he still found time to fly all the way to China to sign a contract with Gu Lu, which is enough to show that editor-in-chief Macron attaches great importance to Gu Lu.

Gu Lu's polite words didn't stop him.

Editor-in-chief Macron is very busy, but Gu Lu is not relaxed either.

The research team still has a lot of things to deal with on its own.

"Okay, I'll leave then." Editor-in-chief Macron took the contract and waved to Gu Lu, interrupted and left directly for the airport.

At this moment, Editor-in-Chief Macron’s cell phone rang.

Editor-in-chief Macron pressed the answer button.

"Well, well, that's it,...Okay, okay, I understand. I've finished handling my affairs and will go back soon."

After hanging up the phone, Editor-in-Chief Macron looked at Gu Lu.

Gu Lu was confused, "Editor-in-Chief Macron, is there anything else?
Chapter completed!
