In the office of an information statistics publishing company in the United States, a group of people are busy integrating data and comparing materials and information.
This is a relatively authoritative ranking journal company in the world, called "Top 100 Scientific Research". It is a very intuitive company. It only publishes two publications per industry every year, and its main focus is on the ranking of each scientific research unit.
Based on the main development areas and sectors, a comprehensive ranking of scientific research institutes in this industry is conducted.
The ranking types mainly include the following aspects.
The first is the overall ranking, and the second is the annual ranking.
The overall ranking is equivalent to the comprehensive strength ranking, while the annual ranking is the ranking of the most improved ones judged by the people.
Mickey is the head of the company. Mickey originally worked for Forbes. During his tenure, he fully learned from Forbes' internal work experience. When he was forty years old, he founded the "Top 100 Scientific Research".
Once it was launched, the journal instantly became a hot spot and focus. Three years after it was launched, it has received countless praises and has accumulated a lot of serious fans!
Five years later, Mickey Loers Company was officially listed in New York, with a market value of US$300 million.
Then, after more than ten years of development, the company has established related sub-journals in many scientific research fields such as chemistry, biology, medicine, physics, etc. Its current market value is as high as billions of dollars, and it is also known as the Forbes of the scientific research community.
.
In October, people in the company are very busy, and everyone is preparing for the publication of the new ranking list.
Christmas Day is the publication time of the annual journal. Two months is not very sufficient, and everyone is hurriedly organizing it!
The biomedical section is a relatively large section in the company's internal publishing, and everyone is busy preparing for the new issue.
Bill looked at the information submitted in his hand and smiled at his statistician colleague: "This year, there are more approval information provided by more than 200 research institutes. Alas... it really adds a lot of burden to our work.
"
Tina sighed: "Who says it's not the case? You know clearly that you can't make it into the rankings, but you insist on getting in. Isn't this a waste of each other's time?"
A black man on the side stood up and said: "Haha, how do you think your weekly salary of 2,000 US dollars comes from? Isn't it the audit information submitted by these companies?"
Indeed, submitting approval information to the "Top 100 Scientific Research" requires an expensive approval fee, because the approval involves too many things, including paper scoring, patent scoring, technical output, scientific research evaluation, etc., which require a lot of materials.
Check with time.
Therefore, it requires a lot of manpower and material resources, so for this, you need to submit an approval fee of 10,000 US dollars.
The company will not charge much for the approval fee, it is mainly allocated to these approval staff.
Just like Bill, Tina and others.
Bill sighed: "That's true, but don't these scientific research units know where their own level is? They just want to be selected as the top 100 in the industry. With this little money, they might as well improve their scientific research power."
Tina suddenly said at this time: "These scientific research institutions are not affiliated research institutes of large groups. These research institutes are not short of this little money. 10,000 US dollars is not as much as the cost of a small experiment. Maybe just buy a large instrument.
It’s enough for approval for a thousand years, and ten thousand US dollars is really nothing!”
"Moreover, if you think about it, if you are lucky and become one of the top 100 in the industry, how can the benefits this brings to the company and the company be the same as what $10,000 can bring?"
"Don't you remember? The year before last, because a scientific research institute called mjyo entered the top 100, his company's stock price increased by more than 20 points that year, and its output value reached hundreds of millions!"
The black man is the head of the department, his name is John Bruce. He said: "Okay, okay, let's check the information quickly. We can talk about the chat later at lunch."
After hearing this, the two of them smiled awkwardly. Bill was more courageous and said to the man: "Team leader, there is a piece of information here that you must review personally."
John Bruce was stunned for a moment: "Oh? What information?"
Bill handed over a thick envelope: "This is the Baiye Research Institute, a relatively controversial research institute. This research institute is medium-sized, and it was even listed on the Hurun Report some time ago. The assets of the research institute are
The assessment is 16 billion yuan, which is about 2.5 billion U.S. dollars. In terms of assets, it is already ranked high in the world."
"But the establishment of this research institute is too short, only two years. According to the comprehensive strength ranking, it is obvious that it cannot enter the top 100 in the world. However, according to the annual ranking, according to the information and ratings it provides
, directly entered the top three!”
"This is very embarrassing! I'm quite confused now. How to evaluate it? Why don't you give me a look?"
Indeed, most of the institutions listed in the "Top 100 Scientific Research" are well-established companies, and they are familiar to others when they hear them, and they all point out their thumbs and sign "Awesome!"
How can you catch up with their decades of accumulation in just two years?
After all, scientific research scores in the evaluation criteria include papers, patents, achievements, etc., which all take time to accumulate.
However, the Baiye Research Institute has only been established for two years, so it will definitely not be able to catch up with others.
To say that Baiye Research Institute is valuable, which scientific research institute is not valuable?
Pfizer's acting laboratory, Johnson & Johnson's research base, and Roche's scientific research base, which one has assets worth tens of billions?
These are all Fortune 50 companies in the world, and the annual expenses of their research institutes are not worth the money!
Therefore, money cannot be used as a measure of scientific research institutes.
Bruce frowned and took the thick envelope, then nodded: "Well, I'll make the decision on this, you go review the others first."
After finishing speaking, he walked straight into his office.
There is an information CD attached. Open the CD-ROM drive and put the CD in. The comprehensive information about Baiye Research Institute appears on the computer.
He was very curious, how did this research institute turn into a US$2.5 billion research institute in two years?
When he saw the research paper, he was stunned for a moment, "Cobalt Chromium Alloy"?
Is it him!?
The Chinese guy who raised the issue of cobalt-chromium alloys?
Thinking of this, Bruce started thinking.
Because Bill had already made various judgments on the Baiye Research Institute in advance, what Bruce wanted to do was not to rate, but to measure how to deal with this problem.
superior?
Still not going?
If not, this research institute is really very powerful. If you give him another year, he will definitely be among the top 100 scientific researchers.
If it is on the list, it will directly enter the top three or even the top spot in the annual rankings. This is... a bit embarrassing!
