Chapter 1343 Battlefield
"Hey, is the Bioengineering Promotion Association here?" Mei Yingshao came back to his senses when he slapped the table.
Mei Yingshao hurriedly said, "It's here, I'm asking which unit you are from."
This is their idiom. Although they are usually not experts, they still have to say it.
Most of the time, the answers he gets are often humble words like "Haha, I'm not considered an expert."
The situation today is very different. The man standing on the other side of the front desk just raised his eyelids and said, "Beihang, Ge Xingbang, academician committee member."
"Oh...oh, okay." Mei Yingshao's mouth, which he thought was calm, started to twitch again.
For outsiders, the so-called academician or academician may be a very powerful title, with a relatively large social influence.
However, for people in the circle, academicians are too powerful and too rare.
In terms of number, the number of academicians in China is smaller than that of giant pandas. If aliens take any action to eliminate all academicians in both academies, China's scientific research growth rate will instantly fall back to negative value. If the academicians of the two academies are selected once and then killed, the scientific research level of a country will be almost 30%.
For societies such as the Bioengineering Promotion Association, they cannot do bioengineering nor promote it. In terms of calculation, they are just a little more accurate in word "成".
Mei Yingshao and the journals behind him, etc., are advertising through the Bioengineering Promotion Association. Inviting scholars from various schools to attend the conference and giving some valuable honorary titles, thereby obtaining orders from some schools and research institutions, and thus expanding their popularity is basically their entire goal.
For scholars who come to attend the meeting, they are also very satisfied. It is very beautiful to take the honors of the capital home. In some places, they can also be regarded as provincial and ministerial standards. If they are not done well, they can be paid two levels of salary. As for the expenses to and from the capital, as long as the other party learns to issue a official letter, they can find the unit to reimburse the company, which is not a big deal.
In the late 1980s, the meeting economy that was derived from the capital was not a joke. The booming hotel industry also broke out with this wave of meetings.
However, no matter how many meetings Mei Yingshao organized, he never invited the school department members.
There are only a hundred academic committee members who stay in the capital and can walk in total. In terms of biology, they can be counted one by one.
"Messenger Ge, I'll help you move your luggage." Mei Yingshao walked around the front desk and asked for help with it diligently.
"Well, please trouble you." Although Ge Xingbang was taking the students, he did not refuse, but asked: "There are many people coming to the conference this time."
“It’s very many.”
"Who is here."
"This is a professor from the University of Pharmaceutical Sciences, a professor from the University of Chemical Engineering, a large number of industry, a large number of agriculture, and a large number of forestry..." Mei Yingshao counted himself and suddenly felt guilty. Can our municipal-level society really invite such great people?
His municipal level is really a municipal level. Although the municipality is provincial and ministerial level, Mei Yingshao and others can not get approval from the city. In the end, they will pass the procedures completed by the district and claim that it is a municipal level to confuse the public.
However, whether it is municipal or municipal level, it is a waste of time to face so many experts.
Mei Yingshao was carrying Ge Xingbang's suitcase and was less confident when walking.
Ge Xingbang nodded slightly and said, "Most of them are still in schools."
"yes."
"Where are the research institutes? How many have you come?"
"There are seven or eight companies." Mei Yingshao gave an approximate number.
Ge Xingbang said "Oh" and fell into deep thoughts.
"At this time, we have arranged for you to go to the second floor. The first floor is a little cloudy, and living is not as comfortable as the second floor. This is Quannan's house, so it will be warm when you open the curtains..." Mei Yingshao carefully introduced it. According to their previous rules, scholars who come to participate in the society either find a hotel or guesthouse or pay the money to the society to live, including the meal.
The Bioengineering Promotion Association jointly established by several publishing houses was originally a template for making a fortune. Nowadays, journals and scholars are basically used to it.
However, learning still has some funds to spend on important guests.
In Mei Yingshao's opinion, the academic committee member is obviously enough to be called an important guest, so he will not mention the accommodation fee.
Ge Xingbang nodded without comment and said, "I'm sorry."
"You are polite." Mei Yingshao paused for a moment, and finally couldn't help but be curious and asked, "Committee Ge, why have you all come to participate in our event today?"
"Don't you know?" Ge Xingbang realized the whole story after hearing what he said, and couldn't help but feel a little funny.
Mei Yingshao shook her head: "I haven't received any news."
"Haha, then when you get Yang Rui, you will know."
"Huh? Yang Rui from Peking University?" Mei Yingshao is a person in the circle, and his ears are so calloused that he hears Yang Rui's name.
Ge Xingbang nodded and entered the room.
His student smiled at Mei Yingshao and closed the door.
Mei Yingshao was a little confused in the corridor. Why did this matter be involved with Yang Rui again?
"Oh, so someone is coming." Mei Yingshao slapped her forehead and suddenly realized this surprising and pleasant problem.
He quickly called back to the office and informed the situation. Many bigwigs attended the meeting, which was a real promotion for the Bioengineering Promotion Association. On the other hand, the arrival of bigwigs will significantly increase the expenditure of funds. No matter which point it is, it will require the leaders of the society to solve it.
Half an hour later, the manager of "Ecology and Environment" came over.
Mei Yingshao greeted him happily and said with a smile: "Manager Tang, I just thought, should we make an advertisement or something, and find a way to notify some media promotion..."
"What's the point of publicity on the battlefield?" Manager Tang's face turned cold, as if it was frozen.
"What battlefield?" Mei Yingshao was stunned.
"Just be careful to serve." Manager Tang said: "I'm grateful if I can't get much bleeding this time. Don't expect to get something."
"Why?" Mei Yingshao was an editor, and her curiosity was indelible after all.
Manager Tang had to rely on him to grasp the meeting situation. Seeing Mei Yingshao so persistent, he had to pause and said: "The 863 Committee is preparing to decide the funds for next year in advance. In addition, the funds for the Ministry of Health and the Chinese Academy of Sciences are also planned to be decided in the past few days."
"How many days?" Mei Yingshao knew that the annual funding war would not be able to see the ending in just a few weeks. If the preview and aftermath were included, it would last for a year. Then the war in the second year began again.
Scholars compete for funds, like a warlord war, never stopping.
For most scholars, the same funding is equivalent to a lifelong pursuit.
Besides funding, what else should we pursue? Academic achievements? That is just the added value of funding.
There are too many scholars who have been working hard for their own lives for their own expenses.
It is so difficult to ask them to spend a few days to decide on the funding for a year.
"So, we have learned to become a battlefield, you should be careful when doing things." Manager Tang reminded him again.
"Why are we?"
"Because the time is right." Manager Tang said coldly: "As far as I know, at least more than 30 scholars have given up on going abroad for inspections and meetings, and have come here, and there are people rushing back from abroad. You must be careful not to offend others, and don't neglect others."
"This... is a disaster." Mei Yingshao threw away all the last bit of hope and said angrily: "If I see this unlucky..."
"Hello, is it the Beijing Bioengineering Promotion Association?" A clear inquiry attracted everyone's attention.
The visitor had a gentle smile, which made people feel vulgar at first sight, and said, "I am Yang Rui from Peking University. Did I sign in here?"
