Reborn in Brazil As a Plutocrat

   Chapter 469 Academic Journals

  Without an academic atmosphere and faculty, what do you have?

  With money and power, as long as these two powers can be used well, the academic atmosphere can be cultivated, and the teaching staff can be spent with money. If you don’t believe it, you can’t make this school famous quickly.

  It is very simple to throw money, but it is also very skillful. At this time, a plan in Fang Lang's mind began to slowly take shape. The more I think about it, the more I think it's a good idea.

  The corners of the mouth involuntarily began to curl up slowly.

  Fang Xinshan quickly noticed the change in Fang Lang's expression, and quickly said:

   "Why, did you think of a good solution?"

  Hearing this, Fang Lang looked up at his father and the old man, nodded slightly and said:

   "Well! I have a little idea. However, it may need to consume a huge amount of money, and it is a continuous investment."

  The old man doesn't seem to care about money. The Fang family is not short of money now. Moreover, in the old man's heart, money is not important, but education is very important, especially the education of Chinese people.

  Fang Xinshan, as the head of the Fangyuan Group, is very familiar with his family's financial situation. If the current Fang family says that they are the second largest consortium in Brazil, no one will dare to stand up and say that they are the largest consortium.

  The Brazilian Development Bank has blossomed everywhere in Brazil, building branches everywhere, and the amount of deposits in the bank is scary. Even if these deposits are not counted, the treasures that Fang Lang got back from outside are worth a lot.

  Although the Fang family invested a lot everywhere, Brazil's economy is developing very fast now, and many companies have begun to make profits, and they are all high value-added industries. The profits are also huge, and they are not afraid of consumption at all.

  He knew that the European aid plan that Fang Lang participated in might have to invest a lot of money, but most of these funds were funds in the bank, not his own capital.

  So, I didn't care much about what Fang Lang said about investing a lot of money. He also believes that the funds invested will definitely get a greater return.

   With such confidence, he didn't panic at all, and said in a calm tone:

   "Tell me, what plan makes you feel that it will cost a lot of money."

  The old man also looked at Fang Lang expectantly.

   Seeing this, Fang Lang was not polite, and confessed all his thoughts. Hearing this, the old man and Fang Xinshan were dumbfounded, and at the same time secretly smacked their tongues. No wonder they said it would cost a lot of money. This is simply an act of throwing money around!

  Based on the knowledge of the two of them, they will not be able to understand the significance of this for a while. But there is also a feeling of ignorance.

  Out of Fang Lang's trust, the two of them didn't raise any objections, but chose to fully support without hesitation.

  Early the next morning, his younger brother Fang Tao took the earliest flight back home from Rio de Janeiro. Before he could take a sip of the water, Fang Lang dragged him to the tea room.

  The old man and father did not participate in the conversation between the brothers. Since Fang Lang already has a plan, they just need to choose to support it with all their strength, and they don't have to worry too much at all.

   "Brother, what happened to call me back in such a hurry?"

  The dusty Fang Tao looked at his brother suspiciously.

  Fang Lang handed over a cup of tea, motioned for the other party to drink and chat, and then slowly said:

   "I want to give you a task. Next, you have to hand over other tasks to other people and concentrate on this work."

  Hearing his brother's gentle but firm words, Fang Tao was slightly taken aback, picked up his teacup and killed him in one gulp, and said without hesitation:

   "What's the matter, brother, just tell me, I will do my best."

  Fang Tao's attitude Fang Lang was very satisfied, nodded and continued to add tea to the other party:

   "Have you ever heard of an academic journal?"

  Although I don’t know why my brother mentioned this relatively unfamiliar field, as a practitioner in the media industry, I still have some general understanding of these aspects. It seems that some experts and scholars publish their latest research papers.

  Hearing the words, he nodded and said:

  "I've probably heard of some, but I don't know much about it."

   After finishing speaking, he looked at Fang Lang, waited for the next article, and had some guesses in his heart. It seems that my brother has some new ideas!

   "And what academic journals have you heard of?"

  After pondering for a while, Fang Tao said uncertainly:

   "Nature, Cell, Science, I don't know what else. If you want to know, I can ask someone to look it up."

  Fang Lang shook his head, indicating no need. Seeing that although he didn't know the other party very well, he didn't know everything, so he nodded in satisfaction and said:

   "Get ready, organize an acquisition team from the company, go to the UK, the US, and Switzerland to set up three magazines controlled by our Fangyuan Group.

  The scale of the magazine does not need to be very large. It is best for the magazine to be affiliated with a well-known local school. On the premise of ensuring that we have an absolute controlling stake, it is best to put on a layer of local capital.

   I then provide a list of journals under whose name you are responsible for starting the acquisition program. It is best not to come forward in person when making an acquisition, and we must do our best to keep a low profile.

   Don't let outsiders find out that we shot behind the scenes, you know what I mean? "

   Fang Tao looked at Fang Lang inexplicably. Although he understood what his mission was, he didn't understand why he did it. He and his elder brother didn't have to be polite, and said bluntly:

   "I see what you mean, but why?"

  Fang Lang sighed softly and said:

   "Because we are Chinese, although these academic journals are not eye-catching, they have a pivotal position in the academic world. The Western world will never allow such an important field to be controlled by us Chinese."

  When Fang Tao said this, how could Fang Tao not understand what his brother meant, so he thought for a while and said:

   "Then I will buy a magazine in the United States in the name of Mr. Anderson, and then, brother, see if you can buy a magazine in the UK and Switzerland in the name of the two sister-in-laws.

   On the surface, the magazine should not have much to do with the Chinese. "

  Fang Lang only thought about it for a while, and agreed with Fang Tao's opinion, acting as these people. Although interested people can find the connection, they really have nothing to do with Fangyuan Group on the surface.

   "Okay, just follow the train of thought you said.

  After you complete the acquisition of these journals, we will quickly publish the journals globally simultaneously to further expand the influence of the journals in the academic world.

Then, we need to build a paper database, count the frequency of paper citations, and conduct multi-faceted evaluation research on academic journals and scientific research results, so as to judge the scientific research output performance of a country or region, scientific research unit, and individual to reflect His academic level at the international level.

  Finally, we will regularly publicize all the papers and cited data included in our database.

   This will be your main work for some time to come. How about it? Can it be done? "

  Fang Tao looked at Fang Lang inexplicably, and said incomprehensibly:

   "Can this make money?"

   He gave his brother a hard look, and cursed:

   "Is this a matter of money? You are studying journalism, don't you understand the benefits of this?

   This is influence, you know? academic influence. "

   "I understand this, but why do we do this? We can't blatantly tell others that these magazines are controlled by us. Even if they are influential, we can't realize them?"

  Looking at Fang Tao who still had a puzzled expression, Fang Lang didn't get angry anymore, but smiled and said:

   "Who said it can't be realized? We have mastered these academic journals, which means that we can understand the development direction of science and technology and the results achieved in the first place.

   Then, we can invest in these directions. Once we grasp this opportunity, our family will always be at the forefront of science and technology and remain invincible forever.

   Of course, these are things for the future.

  In the short term, I want to discover outstanding academic talents through these journals, recruit them to our own schools, and train our own talents for us. "

  At this moment, Fang Tao understood Fang Lang's real intentions in a daze. For a while, he didn't know how to react.

   Can only swallow hard and say:

   "Brother! It's only now that I realize that you are really powerful. You can think of such an idea, and you don't have to admire it.

   No problem, leave this matter to me, and I will immediately start organizing the manpower and execute according to your plan. "

   Seeing Fang Tao's performance, Fang Lang just smiled slightly, looking calm and breezy, but he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Thanks to the lack of teachers in the school, his thinking diverged and he came up with this plan.

  Actually, this is not his main method to solve the lack of teachers in the school, but a plan to become an invisible schoolmaster when he thought of divergent thinking when looking for a solution to the problem of teachers.

  And all of what he has done is nothing more than a means of memorization that will be played by later generations. Think about the important impact of the SCI impact factor of later generations on teachers' professional titles.

  If an ordinary teacher wants to be awarded the title of professor, there are few papers with great influence in academic journals, which is simply a fantasy.

   For postgraduate students from the school, if they can have a paper that can be published in an important journal and get a high SCI impact factor, then it is basically safe.

   There are even cases where teachers secretly replace the first author of a student’s paper with themselves for their own benefit.

   This kind of thing is very common in the medical field. If a doctor can publish a few papers in The Lancet, he will have a natural advantage in terms of professional title evaluation or establishment.

  Even if scientists who want to win the Nobel Prize don’t publish a few academic papers in top journals, who can know your achievements and breakthroughs in related fields?

  So the relevant academic journals are basically the stage for scientists, and Fang Lang's purpose is to build and control this stage in the form of capital.

   Not to mention manipulating academics, at least there will be no more colored glasses for the papers of Chinese scholars.

He has never thought of manipulating academics, using his own means to make some people's papers easily published, or some people's papers to be rejected. On the contrary, he wants to be truly fair and ensure that these are controlled by him. Academic journals have greater influence.

   Let all scholars around the world be proud to publish their papers on it.

  And, as he and Fang Tao said, these papers often have unlimited business opportunities. The higher the SCI impact factor of the latest research results of scientists, the more it represents the future of related fields in the future.

  If the Fangyuan Group can really grasp this context, then no matter whether Fang Lang is still alive in the future, or whether he still has the memory of his previous life, their family will definitely not be eliminated by the times and will continue to prosper forever.

   This can be regarded as a broad road he paved for the future of the family.
