Chapter 21 The tragedy of journals and the sudden increase in wealth!
"Teacher Gao, Teacher Gao, from last night to now, I have received many emails requesting manuscripts! Many of them are from world-renowned academic journals."
"You are famous, at least in the field of materials chemistry, you are now very famous!"
Early in the morning, Xu Qingzhou's youngest student, Zhou Helin, ran up to Gao Yuan with excitement on his face and shouted to the teacher one after another, which made Gao Yuan feel happy.
Zhou Helin was sent by Xu Qingzhou to serve as Gao Yuan's follower, helping him deal with some mail and other sundries, helping him during experiments, etc.
Zhou Helin was very excited about this.
After all, Gao Yuan is now not only the boss, but also a big boss in the laboratory. Even Dr. Xu Qingzhou has to follow Gao Yuan's lead. If you follow such a powerful person, your future will definitely be bright.
"Where's the invitation?" Gao Yuan asked.
Zhou Helin casually reported the names of several academic journals and their SCI impact factors.
In this era of entertainment to death, Weibo and Baidu searches always revolve around celebrities and Internet celebrities. Most ordinary people have no idea about the birth of X-fiber.
However, in the professional field of chemical materials, it is a completely different picture.
The names of Kunlun Company and Plateau were at their peak at the moment, and quickly spread to almost all scientific research institutes north and south of the Yangtze River.
As major laboratories at home and abroad have released test reports on X1 fiber, the industry has begun to realize that this new type of fiber has unimaginable potential.
The original super honeycomb structure of X1 type fiber is really amazing. If we continue to develop along this line, we will introduce more derivative models, X2, X3, X4, and X5. Eventually, it is very likely that a huge X series fiber family will be produced. Sweeping the entire chemical fiber field, completely changing the power structure in this field.
As a result, everyone began to inquire about the news and request manuscripts from Gao Yuan.
It can be called an epoch-making X1 fiber. Whichever journal its academic paper is published in will undoubtedly greatly increase the impact factor of the journal and enhance its academic status.
"Does it have to be in English?" Gao Yuan asked with a frown.
Zhou Helin seemed rather embarrassed, "There is nothing we can do about this. Almost all of the most influential journals in academia are sponsored by the West. If you submit your manuscript in Chinese, even if you don't follow the rules, the reviewers won't be able to understand it."
That's it~
Gao Yuan nodded slightly, but he still felt uncomfortable.
To be honest, Chinese researchers have always been forced to publish English journals.
Instead of building China's own Chinese academic journal system, policymakers blindly examine the number of SCI papers, the cumulative impact factor, and the number of citations when students graduate, teachers evaluate professional titles, and apply for research funds.
With so much admiration for foreigners, how can you expect scholars to take the initiative to publish Chinese papers?
Isn't this a fucking disease?
I come from a grassroots background on the plateau and a Yeluzi background. I didn’t understand the domestic paper review system in the past, but now I understand it. Just thinking about it makes me angry. What the hell.
"Forget it." Gao Yuan sighed helplessly and said, "There's no need to reply to them now. This is not a trivial matter. Let me think about it again."
Zhou Helin nodded in agreement and exited Gaoyuan's office a little frustrated.
In his eyes, Teacher Gao is good at everything, but his personality is too stubborn.
It’s just an English paper. I and so many senior brothers and sisters can help, so there will be no problem.
When Gao Yuan's paper appears on the cover of the world's top journals, it will not only be of immeasurable benefit to Gao Yuan personally, but also gain face for the graduate students in the laboratory.
If it had been anyone else who could have produced such earth-shattering research results, I'm afraid there would have been countless papers published, and I would have loved it to be publicized so that the whole world would know about it.
Plateau is good, it has been delayed until now, and I haven't decided whether to write the thesis or not.
"English journals, Chinese journals, other people's journals, my own journals...the nonsense in academia is really troublesome."
Gao Yuan was a little irritable and muttered to himself.
He is a nationalist at heart and is very disgusted with the current situation in Chinese academic circles that worships foreigners and favors foreigners.
Fortunately, Cao Feiyu also came to his office a moment later, bringing real good news that did not need to be entangled by Gao Yuan.
"Look, this is our shipment volume last week." Cao Feiyu handed Gao Yuan a form and said with a smile.
Gao Yuan took a closer look and suddenly became happy, "It's over a thousand tons!"
The report clearly shows that the shipment volume of X1 fiber last week was 1,075 tons. Based on the current purchase price of 6,300 yuan and the selling price of 30,000 yuan, the gross profit was as high as 2,540 yuan. One hundred and seventy-seven thousand five hundred yuan!
Earning 20 million per week will make more than 1 billion in a year!
Gao Yuan is excited that he is about to enter the ranks of billionaires, but at the same time he is also very clear that gross profit is not profit, and a series of costs such as taxes, losses, research and development, management, etc. must be deducted.
But no matter what, this is great news after all, marking that the company's operations are finally on the right track, and the supply of products exceeds demand.
"In this world, money is still very important." Gao Yuan said to Cao Feiyu excitedly: "With enough cash flow in the company, many things can be put on the agenda."
"For example?" Cao Feiyu asked.
Gao Yuan said some things he felt needed to be done now, such as buying a commercial vehicle to transport Xu Qingzhou and the graduate students to and from get off work, improving the food conditions in the factory, setting up a small gym, etc.
"In the final analysis, it's because of its remoteness." Gao Yuan lamented: "This place is my dad's original factory. It is located in an industrial park. There is no commercial area around it, so it is inconvenient to do anything."
"It's okay to use this place as a factory. The key is that we have now outsourced the production business, leaving only administrative functions such as research and development, finance, management, etc."
"It's okay to have a small number of people now, but in the future we will always have to recruit more employees, especially highly educated scientific researchers. Staying in the industrial park all the time is not an option. It is too unfair to everyone. And in a small city like Shaoxing, there are really powerful companies Top-notch scientific researchers may not come.”
Cao Feiyu listened to Gao Yuan's words and agreed. However, the company is still in its infancy and has many things to deal with. Let's do it step by step. You can't eat a big fat man in one bite.
After handling these matters, Gao Yuan came to the laboratory in a good mood.
In addition to being a business manager, he is also a scientific research leader, so he spends more time in the laboratory doing research.
After Xu Qingzhou took over the laboratory, he used the idle factory buildings to expand and bought a lot of scientific research equipment and consumables.
Now it has reached the hardware standards of domestic first-class laboratories. Unfortunately, there are still relatively few scientific researchers, and we need to find ways to recruit more people.
"Let me tell you something." Xu Qingzhou frowned and said to Gao Yuan: "I heard from several senior brothers and sisters that DowDuPont, the world's largest chemical fiber supplier, is studying how to deal with us. In addition, BASF, Bayer , Giants like Toray are not idle either. It seems that overnight, our small laboratory has become a common target of giants from all over the world."
"The situation is a bit dangerous. The reason why giants have become giants is that their profound accumulation and foundation must not be ignored."
Gao Yuan shrugged, "It's going to rain. Mother is going to get married, and they're going to mess with us. What can we do? It's just to do our best to do our job."
"I have some new ideas regarding the research on X2 fiber. Let's have a meeting in ten minutes."
"Okay, then I'll inform everyone."
Gao Yuan comforted Xu Qingzhou and told him not to worry about others all the time. As things have developed now, it is normal for industry giants to target Kunlun Company. It would be strange if they didn't fight.
Gao Yuan came to his workbench and quickly scribbled on the draft paper with a pencil to prepare for the morning meeting of the research team.
Soon, Xu Qingzhou and the researchers in the laboratory formed a small circle around Gao Yuan.
